#90 / Wonder





If you haven't seen the film, Searching for Sugarman, featuring singer and songwriter Sixto Diaz Rodriguez, I definitely recommend it. It did win an Academy Award. Best song of the film, I think,  is "I Wonder," played live in the YouTube clip above. The lyrics to the song are below. 

It strikes me that "wonder," in general, is probably a most appropriate attitude to all of life. 


Rodriguez - I Wonder 

I wonder how many times you've been had
And I wonder how many plans have gone bad
I wonder how many times you had sex
I wonder do you know who'll be next
I wonder l wonder wonder I do
I wonder about the love you can't find
And I wonder about the loneliness that's mine
I wonder how much going have you got
And I wonder about your friends that are not
I wonder I wonder I wonder I do 
I wonder about the tears in children's eyes
And I wonder about the soldier that dies
I wonder will this hatred ever end
I wonder and worry my friend
I wonder I wonder wonder don't you? 
I wonder how many times you been had
And I wonder how many dreams have gone bad
I wonder how many times you've had sex
And I wonder do you care who'll be next
I wonder I wonder wonder I do
