7 Wonders Of The World
(Robert D. Anderson)
Totally Intact Tunes, ASCAP

Today at my school in world history
Teacher popped a quiz, he said, “This is easy
Just name the 7 wonders of the world for me” - So this is what we wrote:
The pyramids of Egypt, the Taj Mahal, the Panama Canal, China’s Great Wall
World famous landmarks, we counted them all - Yes, they got every vote

Then I noticed the shy girl who sits next to me
Hadn’t turned in her list, it was plain to see
Teacher asked her what the trouble might be - And this is what she said:
“There’s so many answers, I don’t know what to say”
Teacher said, “Maybe we can help find a way - Just read us your list”
The girl hesitated, then this is what she read:

Chorus

“To touch, to see, to taste and to fee
To laugh and to hear, to love while we’re here
These are such wonders, wonderful wonders
7 wonders of the world”

Well, you could have heard a pin drop in that room
Nobody spoke, nobody moved
‘Til someone asked the girl to read it once more through
And so she spoke again:

(Chorus)

It’s a gentle reminder from a gentle soul
We take for granted gifts worth more than gold
And the richest treasures in life’s plan
Cannot be built by our own hand

(Chorus)
