What a Wonderful Thing
Write an uplifting folk-pop anthem celebrating four men swept into unexpected romance. Use fingerpicked guitar, mandolin, cello, and hand percussion, building to soaring male harmonies and a chorus full of wonder, courage, and belonging.
Lyrics
Four sets of boots on a gravel roadCarrying years like a heavy loadWe were steady hands and hardened heartsNever thinking we’d play these partsJust a pact made under a summer moonBut the seasons changed a bit too soonOh, look at how the sky fell inWe’re four good men who learned to winIt’s a brand new worldIt’s a brand new worldI finally found where I belongIn the middle of a beautiful songIt’s a brand new worldIt’s a brand new worldOne was a sailor of the dry landOne had a life he hadn't plannedWe shared the bread and we shared the wineTill we crossed that invisible lineNow there’s a softness in the way we speakFinding the strength in being weakOh, look at how the sky fell inWe’re four good men who learned to winIt’s a brand new worldIt’s a brand new worldI finally found where I belongIn the middle of a beautiful songIt’s a brand new worldIt’s a brand new worldWe weren’t looking for a place to landBut fate reached out and took our handIt takes a giant leap to feel this freeTo become the men we’re meant to beOh, look at how the sky fell inWe’re four good men who learned to winIt’s a brand new worldIt’s a brand new worldI finally found where I belongIn the middle of a beautiful songIt’s a brand new worldIt’s a brand new world
