Lyrics

Open To The Wonder
Lyrics and Music by Woody Russell / ©℗ 2019, Woody Russell, Cats Up The Street Music, ASCAP

This world can make you bitter
If you let it, but, don’t you let it
It doesn’t have to

Pain is going to test you
Struggle will test you
Fear and doubt will, too

Not one thin dime can buy more time
Or a birdsong, or a sunrise
So before you go trading your soul for a handful of gold
You might consider this advice
There’s a current waiting to pull you under
If you don’t stay open to the wonder

Mighty money can fool you
But you can’t take it with you
Even if you chase it every day

Sorrow is not your mother
Trouble is not your father
And closing your heart ain’t the way

No, not one thin dime can buy more time
Or a birdsong, or a sunrise
So before you go trading your soul for a handful of gold
You might consider this advice
There’s a current waiting to pull you under
If you don’t stay open to the wonder
