I Often Wonder lyrics

I often wonder

Seeing scars cut deep

In a mountainside

Hand-hewn works

Now marred by time

I often wonder

Of their toils, their tears

Joys and regrets in life

Now unnamed, inscribed

Weathering into oblivion

I often wonder

What would they think

What would they say

To see the results today

To assess the value

I often wonder

Of the inconceivable eons

That span far beyond

My meager time here

Brief and pending

I often wonder

If men should contemplate

The longevity of their work

Its unseen, undiscovered ways

That finalize its adjudication
