This song is quite special to me, personally. The tune and chords for the verses and chorus were “given” to me–basically channeled to me–in the summer of 2018. The feeling at the time was that the summer was winding down, and grown up time was about to begin. The original vocal hook I had in my head for the chorus was: “It’s been a hell of a time / But it’s over now”.
But I didn’t write this one until January of 2020, and by that time I was in a very special place in my personal spiritual development. (My apologies to the “rationalist-skeptic” types out there, but I do experience channeling-type things you wouldn’t be able to experience yourself and therefore couldn’t know about.)
This is one of those ones where I’m not going to explain very much other than to suggest two themes: one, the Law of Attraction, as taught by Esther Hicks, and this notion–that I had so many things visible before me that it was overwhelming and it was going to take some time even to just gather together what it was I needed to do first.
The line “Another thing that I want, and I’ll take some more time / Dreaming of a lifetime waking, and I feel so good” was channeled to me. I received that whole section, and “knowing I could” just slipped right on to the end as the perfect button in response. I had left it dangling at “Someday, I’ll see…” and Source responded immediately with those lines. It was beautiful and amazing.
The lyrics:
Verse 1:
I’ve got something inside and I can’t deny it
Everything I want is coming and I know it’s good
I know that I should
And there’s another one there and I can’t decide it
What’s it gonna take? I wonder what it’s going to be
Here within me
Chorus 1:
I want a wonderful time
To be coming on
I’ve got a lot to do
And I’ll see it through
I want a wonderful time
To be going on
Verse 2:
And I see where I am and I see what’s coming
Everything I see will happen if I see it through
What will I do?
‘Cause I can look so far and it makes me wonder
Where’s it gonna lead to? When’s it gonna all come true?
I’ll say it to you
Chorus 2:
I want a wonderful time
To be coming on (There it is again)
I’ve got a lot to do
And I’ll see it through (I’m in love again)
I want a wonderful time
To be going on (Here I am again)
Bridge:
Dreams I have I see them coming true
And I see more coming
Seems to be the way I want it to
And another comes, and another one’s coming
Verse 3:
And I know that it feels like it takes a long time
So I’ll just be happy knowing that it comes to be
Someday I’ll see
Another thing that I want and I’ll take some more time
Dreaming of a lifetime waking and I feel so good
Knowing I could
(Chorus 3 and 4)
Here’s video of me recording the original lead vocal of “Wonderful Time,” with the lyrics as subtitles.
