	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
