The Wonders of this Place
Lumondt Kritzinger
(Songwriter & Composer)®
This world of ours – what does it mean,
When storms and droughts persist?
Our life is now – but oh so short,
Doing the things we can’t resist.
Tomorrow is the future,
What does tomorrow bring?
To me and every other soul, when
No longer we can sing,
About our planet that we cherish,
Bringing smiles to every face,
With nature’s heartbeat at our door,
Oh, the wonders of this place.
Decisions that we’re making
One human at a time,
This song is ours forever, but
Will the earth retain its chime?
When in every country of our earth
We’re challenged to the core,
With issues that behold us
How can we be so sure?
Tomorrow is the future
What does tomorrow bring?
To me and every other soul, when
No longer we can sing,
About our planet that we cherish, bringing
Smiles to every face,
With nature’s heartbeat at our door,
Oh, the wonders of this place.
Oh, the wonders of this place.
