Analysis of I Wonder...
Did the winds and waves obey
All good wishes
On that fateful, "goodbye" day?
Did you reach that distant shore?
And did you find
Whatever you were looking for?
Did stars help steer your course?
And did you see
Beyond the sun, a greater force?
Did you locate that secret door?
Did you unlock
Great mysteries, long held in store?
