Gates Of Wonder

[Intro] [whispered] So small before these golden doors A stitched-up heart, a world of more [Verse 1] Two towers made of light and sound My worn-out feet just left the ground The music hums beneath my chest A pulse too big for one small guest I press my paw against the gate A giant kingdom, wide awake [Build-Up] Every color I have never known Pouring down like I am not alone Hold my breath, the doors begin to part [Chorus] Carry me through the gates of wonder Louder than my thunder, brighter than my dark I was just a little thing of thread and dust Now I'm made of gold, I'm made of trust Take me where the whole sky sings Give a tiny heart its wings [Drop] [instrumental] [Verse 2] A thousand hands rise to the sky And somehow, one of them is mine I never fit inside a room Out here I bloom, out here I bloom The bass is rain, the stage a crown I close my eyes, I won't come down [Build-Up] No one told me I could feel this tall No more hiding on a bedroom wall Hold my breath, the whole world starts to spark [Chorus] Carry me through the gates of wonder Louder than my thunder, brighter than my dark I was just a little thing of thread and dust Now I'm made of gold, I'm made of trust Take me where the whole sky sings Give a tiny heart its wings [Bridge] [soft] All those years upon the shelf I thought this world was for someone else [build] But the gates don't ask how big you are They only ask you to bring your heart [Drop] [belted] So carry me, carry me Through the gates of wonder Nothing left to hide under Every light was calling me by name [Outro] [whispered] A little bear, a giant sky And finally, I'm here And finally, I fly
