Wonder Of The WorldWritten by Brian McMahon Performed by Brian McMahon
The Hanging Gardens made it Babylon
the Pyramids keep Egypt great And as I stand in awe of nature, feats of man I can appreciate But then I wonder of the world, will it never see the dove with a branch from the olive tree ? The Mausoleum Halicarnassus ironically has met it's fate And the Rhodes Collossus fell before the power of an ancient quake But I don't wonder of the world, will it cease to try to live beneath the sea and in the sky ? We chart the stars and don't fear a flight out to the moon Why don't we make peace right here? We only stop ourselves The Temple Artemision may have been The Vatican of yesterday But old or new a church is still just only water, sand, and bits of clay Sometimes I wonder of the world, will it ever be wise enough to spin us all in harmony? We chart the stars and don't fear a flight out to the moon Why don't we make love right here? The Hanging Gardens once made Babylon the Pyramids kept Egypt great And though I stand in awe of nature, feats of man I do appreciate Someday I wish the children born unto the earth should find a world of wonder peace will leave behind |
