Keep the Wonder

[Verse 1]
I build a paper moon above the stair
Then check the ladder, test the railing there
I ask the rain what makes the gutters sing
And still pay every bill before the spring

[Pre-Chorus]
A curious heart can open every door
A steady hand knows what the hinges are for

[Chorus]
Keep the wonder, keep your balance
Let your questions learn to stand
I can chase a cloud across the field
And still keep hold of what I’ve planned
Laugh like thunder, think things through
There’s room for both in what I do

[Verse 2]
I race the train of shadows down the wall
But stop before I turn a dare to fall
I make a fort from blankets, then restore
The chairs before somebody needs the floor

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t confuse a boundary with a cage
Or call a tantrum proof of being brave

[Chorus]
Keep the wonder, keep your balance
Let your questions learn to stand
I can chase a cloud across the field
And still keep hold of what I’ve planned
Laugh like thunder, think things through
There’s room for both in what I do

[Bridge]
I’ll kneel to see the beetle cross the stone
Then give it space to find its way alone

[Final Chorus]
Keep the wonder, keep your balance
Let your questions learn to stand
I can chase a cloud across the field
And still keep hold of what I’ve planned
Laugh like thunder, think things through
There’s room for both in what I do
