[Intro]
(Love is a wonder)

[Verse 1]
One winter's night
It was snowin' and the weather was cold
Left on a doorstep
A tiny baby just a few days old

[Chorus]
He was taken inside and shown
From that moment until he was grown
Ah, love is thicker than blood of your own
(Love is thicker than blood of your own)
(No wonder love's a wonder) No wonder love's a wonder

[Verse 2]
Then there was the man who
Had a history of trouble behind him
Ah yeah, and no matter what he'd do
(Trouble always managed to find him)
Trouble always managed to find him

[Chorus]
Now he was really, really weak until she came along
(Weak 'til she came along)
And her love seemed to make him grow strong
(Love seemed to make him grow strong)
(Love can right most things that go wrong)
Love can right most things that go wrong
(No wonder love's a wonder) No wonder love's a wonder
(Love is a wonder) Oh yeah

[Bridge]
Oh yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
(Man's) Now man's lust for power
(Lust for power) Is destroying his human emotion
But let me tell you brother, now is the hour (Now)
He should learn where to place his devotion (Is the hour)

[Chorus]
Now the cannon or the double-edged sword
(Cannon or a double-edged sword)
Should never make you stop lovin' the Lord
(Make you stop loving the Lord)
'Cause that's a joy that every heart can afford
(That's a joy that every heart can afford)
Ha, no wonder love's a wonder (No wonder love's a wonder)
Oh yeah

[Outro]
(It's a joy that every heart can afford)
(No wonder love's a wonder) No wonder love's a wonder
Oh yeah
(It's a joy that every heart can afford)
It's a joy that every heart can afford
(No wonder love's a wonder) I said, no wonder love's a wonder
Ah, no wonder love's a wonder
