“Can’t Help but Wonder” is a soulful track written and sung by American singer-songwriter John Legend. The song was released on his 2020 album “Bigger Love,” and it talks about love, inner thoughts and wanting.

Through the lyrics, as he wonders how an ex-lover is doing and acknowledges that they can’t help themselves from thinking back to someone or conceiving the idea of rekindling with this former lover, he bares his soul.

I Can’t Help But Wonder Lyrics By John Legend

Father?

Son?

All my life, I’d have died to meet you
Thought about your name so much it hurts
For twenty years, I’d dreamt of how I’d greet you
Oh, and now you’re here
I can’t find the words

All my life, I’d have died to know you
Days and nights I wish that I could show you
For twenty years, I never could outgrow you
Oh, and now you’re here

I can’t help but wonder
What your world must be
If we’re like each other
If I have your strength in me
All this time I’ve wondered
If you’d embrace me as your own

Twenty years, I’ve wandered
For so long I’ve felt alone

Oh my son, look how much you’ve grown
Oh my boy, the sweetest joy I’ve known
Twenty years ago, I held you in my arms
How time has flown, oh

Used to say I’d make the storm clouds cry for you
Used to say I’d capture wind and sky for you

Held you in my arms, prepared to die for you, oh
How times has flown

I can only wonder
What your world has been
Things you’ve had to suffer
And the strength you hold within
All I’ve ever wanted
Was to reunite with my own

Twenty years, we’ve wandered
But today you’re not alone

My son, I’m finally home!

Father, how I’ve longed to see you!

Telemachus, I’m home

Go, tell your mother I’m home
I’ll be there in a moment

Of course

Show yourself
I know you’re watching me
Show yourself
You were never one for hellos

I can’t help but wonder
What this world could be
If we all held each other with a bit more empathy
I can’t help but feel like
I led you astray
What if there’s a world where we don’t have to live this way?

If that world exists
It’s far away from here
It’s one I’ll have to miss
For it’s far beyond my years
You might live forever
So you can make it be

But I’ve got one endeavor
There’s a girl I have to see

We will be happy to hear your thoughts
