Wonder

**[Intro]** [Upbeat big band swing] [Brass section flourish] [Snappy drumbeat] **[Verse 1]** How lucky can one guy be? I served my time, now it's back to civility, But life ain't as smooth as it used to be, It’s like a kick in the head. **[Chorus]** Well, I thought the world would open wide, But these doors, they just won't slide, Still, I'll keep on pushing with pride, Even when it's a kick in the head. **[Verse 2]** Got a medal on my chest and dreams in my sights, But the nine to five grind keeps me up at nights, Still, I smile and I fight, cause that's my creed, Even if it feels like a kick in the head. **[Bridge]** [Instrumental break with lively saxophone solo] [Big band swings with energy and flair] I know I'll find my way, even if the path is steep, 'Cause giving up, well that just ain't my style, With every knock, I get back on my feet, And I'll keep on walking every mile. **[Verse 3]** Met a gal, she understands my way, She says, "Honey, we'll find a brighter day," With her by my side, I know we'll be okay, Even if life gives us a kick in the head. **[Chorus]** Well, I thought the world would open wide, But these doors, they just won't slide, Still, I'll keep on pushing with pride, Even when it's a kick in the head. [Outro] [Big band crescendo with a flourish] [Snappy drumbeat fades] With grit and love, we’ll find our way ahead, No matter how many kicks in the head. [End]
