8th Great Wonder (music and lyrics by Tamra Hayden)

The 8th greatest wonder of the world: why?
The 8th greatest wonder of the world: the big, fat question mark.
Why won’t I breathe? Why am I holding back? Why am I holding on?
It’s useless to cling to the past. La, la, la, la di friggin’ da!
I wanna run, I wanna know, I wanna feel.
I wanna be, but what is it like to be free. La, la, la, la di friggin da!
Stepping on cue, getting my lines right. Why do I feel I’ve no voice in this world?
Doing my homework, paying attention, still nothing is right and I wonder why.
The 8th great wonder. Why?
I wanna run, I wanna feel. I wanna know is anything real.
When will the war stop? When will I feel safe in my own backyard?
When will I be safe? Safe and off guard?
I want peace, not a piece of you. You want a piece of me I can’t return.
I have given all that I’m able to. You have taken my heart and soul, but never mind!
And I wonder why, I wonder why.
I wonder why, why are we here? Why do we live with so much fear?
Where is the end of our tears?
I wanna run, I wanna fly to you! I wanna pick up all our broken pieces.
Kiss each broken dream goodbye.
But, I’m blown to pieces, scattered and shattered.
Broken beyond my own recognition.
How will I mend, if I don’t even know what for?
The 8th greatest wonder of the world: why?
The 8th greatest wonder of the world: the big, fat question mark.
Why won’t I breathe? Why am I holding back? Why am I holding on?
It’s useless to cling to the past. La, la, la, la di friggin’ da!
I wanna run, I wanna fly to you! I wanna pick up all our broken pieces.
Kiss each broken dream goodbye.
I wanna hold you. I wanna cry with you. Tell you how I still love you.
I just wanna hold you…for no reason at all.
