This isn't a song...it's a prayer. I woke up with this song in my head for some strange reason, and as I usually do with a "waking song" I listened to it on the way in to work. Never really knew the words, but found This version first and really paid attention to the lyrics. Before I knew it, my eyes were blurry with tears thinking of my first born. She's such a great person with a genuinely good heart. And I love her to the point of embarrassment. She'll be 30 this year and married soon. But she'll always be my Baby.
It was May, 1997 and I was setting up sound for the S. Carolina Special Olympics at a large outdoor stadium. The featured singer was running very late and I needed to dial in vocals. I was behind the curtain hooking up wireless mic systems. Told my buddy to play any bumper song and dial in my voice. He played Wonder and I sang it. All of a sudden my buddy pulled the curtain open and pointed to the front of the stage. A couple of hundred athletes had arrived and they were dancing. When I finished the song they started walking up and hugging me. I hugged dozens of them and told them I was sorry, but I had to finish setting up and waved at them. They all cheered and clapped as I went back to wiring things. It is a moment that I think of when things go sideways and I feel lost. Those athletes gave me a beautiful memory that inspires me to just keep on going and I am their biggest fan forever.
Thank you for sharing that precious moment❣My Macky🦋 was a Special Olympian from middle to high school. She was in track & field and even went to Austin for state finals in bowling! She won gold 🥇❣Macky🦋 was a WONDER herself❣She was born "normal" it was a brain tumor and ALL the treatments that saved her life at 1yr old that caused her to be Developmentally delayed. She went through SO many procedures BUT accomplished SO much in her 22yrs than most of us do in a lifetime❣ One day when I'm ready, I will share her story. It's been 2 years since she passed and my son & I are grieving her tremendously💔. Oh the AMAZING stories I can tell about her. Macky has touched SO many lives and ANYONE whose had the Pleasure of meeting her will Never forget her❣ She was a WONDER, that's why I LOVE this song SO much, it's SO fitting❣ Thanks again for sharing, it brought back some precious memories for me as well🙏 Continued blessings my friend❣💗🦋
To have the vision and guts to predict your own fate at such a young age with such certainty is truly moving. Some of the best verses ever written. This coming from a 50 year old oilpatch worker in Alberta, Canada that has heard this song a million times but just recently heard it for what it was instead of it just floating innocently through my consciousness. I had to fight tears back. Unreal songwriting. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a decorated veteran and this song bring tears to my eyes everytime. Such amazingly heartfelt lyrics with a beautiful tune accompanying it. Truly a timeless song. Ty Natalie!
I heard this song years ago but I never realized this song explained my life. I was born 3 months premature and the doctors said if I somehow survived I would be severely retarded and I would never walk and talk and they sent me home to die but yet 34 years later I'm still here and the doctor who delivered me thought I had died and when he heard I was still alive he said man I have to see this. Now I am setting records at videl games. I've had y3 surgeries. Even then I am still amazing.
This Girl hasn’t got the most powerful voice compared to some others but what makes her a good singer is all of those emotions that she’s puts into it. You can really feel what she means by it because of how she sings those words. The emotions help people to understand what’s meant by the song. Having strong heartfelt emotions can make a massive difference to the song in general.
There are many students living with levels of AUTISM and battling learning every day. This song reminds me of many kids that live with AUTISM and smile still every day.
Just wow... this song shakes me to my core every time. So grateful to have this song set as my ringtone every time the IRS calls. The song reminds me how truly magical and unpredictable this crazy mixed up world can be sometimes. Count your blessings y’all because things aren’t always easy but they sure as hell are worth it.
Just so you know, God is always capitalized. Beyond that, thank you for giving me the Lyrics, with a few changes I will sing this to my daughter. Because she is the one this song was written for.
I was born with learning disabilities, a deformed hand, and a growth hormone disorder. I was constantly bullied in school as a child but my mom would sing me this song to help me feel better. It is still special to me today ❤
What a beautiful version of a beautiful song. Not too many songs are popular that praise the creator. I BELIEVE too. You, too, should believe the truth and its beauty. Its also the most incredible story imagineable.
I learned this song from another Glioblastoma Brain Cancer fighter. She recently passed away, I just learned of her passing this morning. Rest in paradise to Jules. Listening in your honour this morning Jules. Another inspiring brain cancer patient taken #gbmawareness

aww. justice for Serena McKay. sweet child in the arms of God. may you receive your justice and peace. you're loved and missed and receive nightly prayers. god knows you're loved and missed. may the prayers lift you higher into the heavens on the throne with our heavenly father sweet sweet child. you changed my life.
Hacker can't help himself just like Einstein I have my formula faith and prayer equals miracles that's what our heavenly father specializes in all glory to God
My baby was born very sick in 1996....the doctors told us to prepare for the worst. I fell apart. Then a very smart Dr knew what was wrong and she suddenly got better. I heard this song on TV that night....with patience and with faith, my 27 year old daughter was valedictorian and is in art school. She has high functioning autism but is clearly making her way. This is MY SONG AND HERS 💕 She's my miracle baby 🌻 And the Dr was a miracle too ☺
I was born at Short of 7 months like 6 months and three quarters so I shouldn't be here and gosh I told you all the things that happened to me you'd have to think I had God's favor and I still do he's got to straighten up a little praise the Lord Jesus Christ
I haven't watch the movie but my teacher is reading the book to us now. I love the book so much😍😍😍 Auggie is so cute in the movie he doesn't look scary at all
I am currently reading Wonder. Soon, I will see the movie. Just know that this song could be a real miracle! My mom wanted me to read it to her. Imagine how she is feeling now! But, also know that there are only 7 wonders of the world. And that Auguest is a boy, not a girl!
I'm a metal head through and through. I was just listening to Carcass. I clicked on this song because of teddy from bobs burgers. The one with the music video actually has some really cool guitar riffs. But yeah, I feel you. I'm a huge metalhead that has a soft spot for a Natalie merchant song... I'd never admit that in person.
This song is about me and it’s going to take me a lifetime to make my way, I’ve moved slowly , but I’m moving even faster now, the book I’m reading is about the 88 day promise has anyone read thus book if so reply to my comment here. As for this song it’s beautiful and is Natalie singing about herself ?

It wasn't an accident, it was a sign. You should listen to voice in your heart.
There are certain 90’s songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them.
To have the vision and guts to predict your own fate at such a young age with such certainty is truly moving. Some of the best verses ever written.

The good Lord is holding you in the Palm of His hand..
What a gift you must be...
God has you in the palm of his hand. Always.
To my Daughter.. My wonder miracle baby child..

She was another miracle baby. My last. Thank you Lord. Thank you for blessing me.
Just wow... this song shakes me to my core every time. So grateful to have this song set as my ringtone every time the IRS calls.

Just so you know, God is always capitalized. Beyond that, thank you for giving me the Lyrics, with a few changes I will sing this to my daughter. Because she is the one this song was written for.

This song was released about the time my niece was born, and I'll always think of her when I hear it
This is so sweet it just melts my heart. And it is so true.

Damned I forgot how good this is 🎼🎶🎶🎶💙😸✌
This is not a song…. It is a prayer
Having the reminder that rj palacio wrote wonder based on the song somehow makes me emotional, like how the wonder story can usually do :,)
Someone here after reading "The Miracle" -R.J. Palacio ? (Sorry if i didn't translate the title corectlly , but i am Romanian)
-.-Just An Anime Fan-.- it’s “wonder” but “miracle” is a really good interpretation!
Me
The miracle is a very good name, but just so you know it is called Wonder
Bunaaa Si eu pe aici venind de la cartea minunea )))
Romani
This is a memory of my last year of elementary school of 5th grade. That's because I found out about this song from my teacher for a book novel!
My baby was born very sick in 1996....the doctors told us to prepare for the worst. I fell apart. Then a very smart Dr knew what was wrong and she suddenly got better. I heard this song on TV that night....with patience and with faith, my 27 year old daughter was valedictorian and is in art school. She has high functioning autism but is clearly making her way. This is MY SONG AND HERS 💕 She's my miracle baby 🌻 And the Dr was a miracle too ☺
Praise our God is yet infinite wisdom praise you father Jehovah son Jesus and the holy Ghost
All and that mean all glory to the Lord Jesus amen
Beautiful song.
Just after reading wonder and watching film. Great book and movie. I truly recommend them:):)
I had a school homework to write the lyrics of this song. I wrote this. Thank you so much.
Beautiful song🥰🌸💖💞💫
Great great song lyrics... Natalie you are a wonderful gift from GOD
Love the lyrics! Great song Natalie.
I was born at Short of 7 months like 6 months and three quarters so I shouldn't be here and gosh I told you all the things that happened to me you'd have to think I had God's favor and I still do he's got to straighten up a little praise the Lord Jesus Christ

✨So clam and relaxing 🌻

Good bless you!!!
Genius lyrics
I love this song.
I love you friend!
In the movie, Auggie doesn't look bad actually. He's kinda cute ;)
He is Darth Sidouse son
Mellow yes
The dumping ground. I am a bit of a new one. I HAVE A LOOK AT THE MOMENT. I am not a good idea. The first time 3rd of my friends, but
EXCATLY
He is
I just finished the book and movie and this song is the same but not
i nearly cryed good song
I’m 14 and this is deep
it's so good
TY
it sings to my heart
god i love her
The book wonder was created because of this song!
No not necessarily, the book was inspired when she saw a homeless man with similar conditions at a ice cream shop with her child.
It made me cry
dedicated this to my baby girl when she was born
The book wonder is better than the movie
I would usually hate this music, as I prefer metal and rock, but I enjoyed this!
Alu The wolf You probably secretly listen to Michael Bolton.
You might dig the original studio version. Faster tempo, more guitar work
I'm a metal head through and through. I was just listening to Carcass. I clicked on this song because of teddy from bobs burgers.
The one with the music video actually has some really cool guitar riffs.
But yeah, I feel you. I'm a huge metalhead that has a soft spot for a Natalie merchant song... I'd never admit that in person.
So good talent
love ur song
Remember this song for it was the one that inspired the writer of the inspiring novel called Wonder
Our teacher played this during class as part of it since we are reading the book
good song
If u like this song, u would like the book "Wonder"
Is Natalie the author?
This song is about me and it’s going to take me a lifetime to make my way, I’ve moved slowly , but I’m moving even faster now, the book I’m reading is about the 88 day promise has anyone read thus book if so reply to my comment here. As for this song it’s beautiful and is Natalie singing about herself ?
I’m crying
Who's here after watching the wonderful movie Wonder at 2021
This version is better than the faster one that was used in the video.
Always loved this song. There is a child in this video that looks so much like me as a little girl. Uncanny...
perfect for the movie wonder
Great song . Great voice .
What is the girt
I’m ginnay cry I live this
