Verse 1
Db Ab Bbm Ab Gb (Same chords over & over)
Doctors have come from distant cities
just to see me stand over my bed
disbelieving what they're seeing
Chorus:
they say I must be one of the wonders
of God's own creation
and as far as they can see they can offer
no explanation
Verse 2 : same pattern of chords
newspapers ask intimate questions
want confessions they reach into my head
to steal the glory of my story
Chorus
Bridge:
Ebm Db Bbm Gb

Ebm Db Bbm Gb
Fate smiled and destiny
Bbm Gb

"know this child will be able"
laughed as my body she lifted
"know this child will be gifted
Bbm Gb Db Ab Bbm
with love, with patience and with faith,
Ab Gb
she'll make her way"
verse 3 (just like verses 1 & 2)

"know this child will be gifted
with love, with patience and with faith
she'll make her way...she'll make her way
