"Wonderful Place" lyrics

One look at the sea
One boy with a dream
My grandfather sailed away
What a wonderful place to
Let him decide his fate

One lifetime would pass
One flipped hour glass
My mother did what she must
What a wonderful place
Help her with both of us

They carried the weight on their shoulders
They laughed with a tear in their eyes
Nobody said it was easy
Living in paradise

All of this
Someday will be yours I wish
Child, from my broken hearts
To my calloused fingertips
I wish you all of this

Like grapes on the vine
Much faster than time
My own children start to grow
What a wonderful place to
Love them and let them go

They'll carry the weight on their shoulders
They'll laugh with a tear in their eyes
Nobody said it was easy
Living in paradise

All of this
Someday will be yours I wish
Child, from my broken hearts
To my calloused fingertips
I wish you all of this

Ever changing skies and
Days that pass you by
The thorn that hides behind the roses
The setting of the sun and
Dreams that never come
Door that opens when one closes

All of this
Someday will be yours I wish
Child, from my broken hearts
To my calloused fingertips
I wish you all of this
