Something Wonderful
Orchestra and Chorus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
His heart is not always wise
This is a man who stumbles and falls
But this is a man who tries
This is a man you'll forgive and forgive
And help and protect, as long as you live
He will not always say
But now and then he'll say
Something wonderful
The thoughtless things he'll do
Will hurt and worry you
Then all at once he'll do
Something wonderful
He has a thousand dreams
That won't come true
You know that he believes in them
And that's enough for you
You'll always go along
Defend him when he's wrong
And tell him when he's strong
He is wonderful
He'll always need your love
And so he'll get your love
A man who needs your love
Can be wonderful

This man is not always able to articulate what he means, but occasionally he says something wonderful that takes the listener's breath away. The man's thoughtless actions sometimes cause hurt and worry, but then he surprises everyone with something wonderful. Despite having a thousand dreams that may never come true, he believes in them, and his unwavering faith is enough to inspire those around him.
The chorus reflects on the importance of forgiveness and support in this man's life. No matter what he says or does, he is loved and protected by those who care about him. Everyone will stand by him, even when he is wrong, but they will also celebrate his strengths and tell him how wonderful he is.
