I marvel
At the genius and the grace
At the chaos, all the magic
Lighting up your face
I marvel
At the beauty and the lies
At the rapture, redemption
The resoluteness in your eyes
I marvel
As our planet spins in space
At the mystery, all the discord
That ravages this place
I revel
In the universe full of stars
Every one a past and future
Beckoning from afar
I marvel at the goddess
Marvel at the myths
I marvel at the stories
And marvel at the bliss
I marvel at apathy
Marvel at the scope
Of denial we suffer
To sooth our souls with hope
I marvel
At every threshold and every gate
Decisions at every doorway
Portent portals to our fate
I revel
In the music and in the sound
Every number in every pattern
Geometry all around
I marvel at the goddess
Marvel at the myths
I marvel at the stories
And marvel at the bliss
I marvel at treachery
Marvel at the feat
Of stubborn resilience
To rise above deceit
We can be heroes
Drinking from their source
We can be champions
Balancing the rage of nature's force
We are the avengers
Defending history from our reckless pace
Chasing the speed it travels
To win this human race
I marvel at the goddess
Marvel at the myths
I marvel at the stories
And marvel at the bliss
I marvel at evil
Marvel at the good
Marvel at dichotomies
Barely understood
I marvel at the wealthy
Marvel at the poor
I marvel at the children
Of this I can be sure
I marvel at tenacity
Marvel at the feat
Of stubborn resilience
To rise above deceit
