Lara's Song (The Seven Wonders)

Written by Paul Dougherty

Won’t you come out to play
I’ve been saying that for days and days
Just when I thought I had given up hope
God threw me a sign and took away the rope

They say there are seven wonders of the world
But nothing compares to my girl

Mama loves you more than the water in the rain
Daddy loves you more than he could ever in words explain
The pyramids of Egypt, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The Colossus of Rhodes, well look at what man has done

Some say it’s never enough
That we’ve got to fight and stand tough
Well love, look at what you’ve done
You’re the wonder number one

The Statue of Zeus, the Temple of Artemis
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
Well man, I don’t know much about all that man-made stuff
Just look around and see what God has given us

Here’s to the Seven Wonders of the World
But nothing compares to my baby girl
Well love, look what you’ve done
You’re the wonder number one
