This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Doctors have come from distant cities, just to see me
Stand over my bed, disbelieving what they're seeing
They say I must be one of the wonders
Of God's own creation
And as far as they see, they can offer
No explanation
Newspapers ask intimate questions, want confessions
They reach into my head to steal, the glory of my story
They say I must be one of the wonders
Of God's own creation
And as far as they see, they can offer
No explanation
Ooo, I believe, fate smiled
And destiny laughed as you came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as my body she lifted
Know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience, and with faith
She'll make her way, she'll make her way
People see me I'm a challenge to your balance
I'm over your heads how I confound you
And astound you
To know I must be one of the wonders
God's own creation
And as far as they see, they can offer
Me no explanation
Ooo, I believe, fate smiled
And destiny laughed as she came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as she came to my mother
Know this child will not suffer
Laughed as my body she lifted
Know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience and with faith
She'll make her way, she'll make her way
She'll make her way, she'll make her way
Stand over my bed, disbelieving what they're seeing
They say I must be one of the wonders
Of God's own creation
And as far as they see, they can offer
No explanation
Newspapers ask intimate questions, want confessions
They reach into my head to steal, the glory of my story
They say I must be one of the wonders
Of God's own creation
And as far as they see, they can offer
No explanation
Ooo, I believe, fate smiled
And destiny laughed as you came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as my body she lifted
Know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience, and with faith
She'll make her way, she'll make her way
People see me I'm a challenge to your balance
I'm over your heads how I confound you
And astound you
To know I must be one of the wonders
God's own creation
And as far as they see, they can offer
Me no explanation
Ooo, I believe, fate smiled
And destiny laughed as she came to my cradle
Know this child will be able
Laughed as she came to my mother
Know this child will not suffer
Laughed as my body she lifted
Know this child will be gifted
With love, with patience and with faith
She'll make her way, she'll make her way
She'll make her way, she'll make her way

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think that this song is about a person, who like me, was born diabled, but no matter what, like the song says, with "love, patience, and faith she'll make her way". I am a "wonder" because I was born deathly ill and I beat the odds.
We are NOT odd, we are truly gifted.
Why do people make things that are so simple so confusing. Its not about a miraculous recovery from disease. Its not about women specifically.
Its about a child with a handicap. And the refrain explains it all. If you as parents see this child as handicapped, she will be handicapped. If you see her handicap as a gift, she will be gifted. God gives us all we need to live full meaningful lives and what we are missing, he makes up for with other attributes.
Her disabilities will instill the gifts of Love, Patience and Faith. Things many of us struggle to find in our lives becuase we've gotten whatever we needed in life without them. We never learned them. This girl will have these gifts out of necessity and her life will be different from ours, yet fulfilling...so don't cry and feel sorry for her.
I sincerely doubt this is a pro-life song. That doesn't sound like Natalie. It is definately an uplifiting song and makes me feel good everytime I hear. So few songs are positive and speak of joyful things. This one just makes your heart melt.
Natalie wrote this song for a woman who was born with handicaps that seemed too great to overcome . She was instutionalized at a birth due to her disability. She had overcome the obstacles she had to indure due to the love and support of her adoptive family especially her adoptive mother.
watch youtube.com/watch. She explains why she wrote the song in this video.
This is a pro-life song. We search for reasons to explain everything in life. It is a very difficult thing to understand why a person should go through life with what we feel is such a curse. Seeing a handicapped person is uncomfortable for most of us. It reminds us of our own burdens and our lack of control over our world. This song suggests that when science fails us we can accept the wonders of life through faith and in God we can even believe that such a helpless being can actually have a wonderful life.
According to Natalie, the song is about special needs children and hwo they can overcome their difficulties, if given a chance. She explains it wondefully here: youtube.com/watch
According to Natalie, in concert in a YouTube video, she says it's about special needs children and how they can overcome their difficulties if given a chance.
During a performance of the song that's available on YouTube, Natalie explains how the song came to be, and that it's about special needs children and how they can overxome their difficultiees - especially if they're loved.
I think this is a song with excellent insight ... and it just makes me feel good. I believe it's about people who are "different" ... born disabled in some ways, but incredibly gifted in others.
I think of my 5 year old son who has been tested and labelled again and again as aspergers or ADHD, or OD etc etc. Turns out he is brilliant. He is eternally frustrated because he doesn't relate to his peers ( he reads, creates machines from toys and doesn't see how dress up could be fun).. He talks like an adult and doesn't understand why he cannot live like one.. He doesn't fit in with kids, teachers misunderstand his questions and constant testing of his own ideas as defiant rather than creative. One school teacher told me she would "train him" to stop questioning everything-- let's just say, she got more than an earful about that from me. This song may be about something else, but when I hear it, I feel it describes people like him.. And it also describes me. I was born the same way and it wasn't until I was an adult that my unique thought processes and gift for analytical thinking were accepted by anyone but my wonderfully supportive parents.. You see sometimes, if you are gifted and very, very young, you are treated like a freak of nature for being different.
for some strange reason, whenever i hear this song... i think of her as being pregnant with a fish. that's what makes her a wonder.
