Is It Any Wonder?
And And And Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Pencil marks on a wall, I wasn't always this tall
You scattered some monsters from beneath my bed
You watched my team win
You watched my team lose
You watched when my bicycle went down again
And when I was weak, unable to speak
Still I could call You by name
And I said, Elbow Healer, Super Hero
Come if you can
You said, I Am

Only sixteen, life is so mean
What kind of curfew is at 10 p.m.
You saw my mistakes.
And watched my heart break
Heard when I swore I' d never love again
And when I was weak, unable to speak
Still I could call You by name
And I said, Heartache Healer, Secret Keeper
Be my best friend
And you said, I Am

You saw me wear white by pale candlelight
I said forever to what lies ahead
Two kids and a dream, with kids that can scream
Too much it might seem when it is two a.m.
And when I am weak, unable to speak
Still I will call You by name
Shepherd, Savior, Pasture Maker
Hold onto my hand
You say, I Am

The winds of change and circumstance blow in and all around us
So we find a foothold that's familiar
And bless the moments that we feel you nearer

When life had begun, I was woven and spun
You let the angels dance around the throne
And who can say when, but they'll dance again
When I am free and finally headed home
I will be weak, unable to speak
Still I will cal You by name
Creator, Maker, Life Sustainer
Comforter, Healer, My Redeemer
Lord and King, Beginning and the End





I Am
Yes, I Am

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Is it Any Wonder?" by And And And talk about a personal relationship with a higher power, which is referenced multiple times throughout the song through various names such as "Elbow Healer," "Heartache Healer," "Shepherd Savior," "Pasture Maker." The lyrics describe how this higher power has always been present in the singer's life. Even at a young age, the singer recalls this higher power being there through all the trials and tribulations of youth, such as scraped knees and heartbreaks. This relationship grows with time, and the singer eventually finds comfort in knowing that the higher power is always present, no matter what life throws their way.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of mortality and the inevitability of death. The song suggests that even after death, this higher power will still be present to welcome the singer home. The chorus, which constantly repeats the phrase "I am," serves as a reminder that this higher power is always present, whatever name you choose to call it. The lyrics of the song come together to create a powerful message about the comfort and guidance that religion or spiritualism can provide in life.

This road
Is gonna take us back now
You look so fine
I don't know how to act now
They say, "My child
Don't stroll off easy
'Cause when it's time
You gonna hear what she said"
Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?
If you ever leave me alone
I'll be cryin', wishin' you'd come home
When I look in your eyes
I see you starin' at me, girl
And when it's time
I see you holdin' on me, girl
'Cause you
You got a hold on me, yeah
So, I'm
Gonna make you see, yeah
Aw, yeah
Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?
When the sun goes down at night
Gonna let you know that everything's alright
Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?
Is it any wonder?
Aw, baby

This was my fiancee favorite song. He was hit by a truck that ran a red light on 08/07/2020 & passed away on 08/08/2020 @ 7:30 am Johnny was the Love of my Life. We were together 17yrs & just kept putting off getting married. We finally set a date in November & now he is gone. Missing you with every second, every minute, & every hour. My heart continues to ache for you.. Together we were one.......What am I suppose to do without you? We were suppose to grow old together.
I Love you Straight from the Heart from Head to Toe.
Until we meet again
Besitos Mi Amor
Always
Yvette
