Wonder Learns to Stay

[Verse 1]
You count the change before you spend
You know a promise has an end
Still stop to watch a paper kite
Get caught above the parking lot
You ask how birds know where to turn
Then check the stove before you go
A curious heart can read the room
And still remember what it knows

[Pre-Chorus]
Wonder isn’t saying yes to everything
Wisdom isn’t closing every door

[Chorus]
Keep the questions, keep your sense
Let amazement have its chance
You can laugh and still be kind
You can dream and hold your line
Little eyes, with grown-up hands
See the world and understand
Stay amazed, but choose your way
That’s how wonder learns to stay

[Verse 2]
You draw a dragon on a bill
Then pay the clerk the proper sum
You lose a game and feel the sting
You don’t make someone else the one
You build a fort from moving boxes
Then let the hallway stay clear
There’s room for play inside your life
Without making others bear it

[Pre-Chorus]
Wonder isn’t taking what you want
Wisdom isn’t being bored by all

[Chorus]
Keep the questions, keep your sense
Let amazement have its chance
You can laugh and still be kind
You can dream and hold your line
Little eyes, with grown-up hands
See the world and understand
Stay amazed, but choose your way
That’s how wonder learns to stay

[Bridge]
Be brave enough to change your mind
Be young enough to ask why
A soft heart doesn’t mean you’re small
A steady hand can hold it all

[Final Chorus]
Keep the questions, keep your sense
Let amazement have its chance
You can laugh and still be kind
You can dream and hold your line
Little eyes, with grown-up hands
See the world and understand
Stay amazed, but choose your way
That’s how wonder learns to stay
[Outro]
Stay amazed, but choose your way
