Doctors have come from distant cities just to see me
Stand over my bed, disbelieving what they're seeing
They say I must be one if the wonders of god's own creation
And as far as they see they can offer no explaination

Newspapers ask intimate questions, want confessions
They reach into my head to steal the glory, of my story
They say I must be one if the wonders of god's own creation
And as far as they see they can offer no explaination

Oooh I believe, that fate smiled and destiny
Laughed as she came to my cradle
"Know this child will be able"
Laughed as my body she lifted
"Know this child will be gifted, with love, with patience
And with faith, she'll make her way, she'll make her way"

People see me, I'm a challange to your balance
I'm over your heads how I confound you
And astound you to know I must be one if the wonders of god'sown creation
And as far as you see you can offer no explaination

Oooh I believe, that fate smiled and destiny
Laughed as she came to my cradle
"Know this child will be able"
Laughed as she came to my mother
"Know this child will not suffer"
Laughed as my body she lifted
"Know this child will be gifted, with love, with patience
And with faith, she'll make her way, she'll make her way"
"She'll make her way"
Ooooh hoo hoo hoo, ooooh hooo hooo hoo
