Song: I Want to Know What Wow Is

Lyrics: I Want to Know What Wow Is

Yeah…
People dream like life’s a movie that someday might begin,
But the reel won’t roll if you never jump in.
Me? I don’t wait for destiny’s kiss—
Like Foreigner said love’s a mystery…
But I wanna know what wow is.

I grew up thinking magic shows up at the door,
That one day I’d wake up and my soul would want more.
But wonder ain’t random—it’s chased, never thrown,
You gotta walk your own map, carve your path, claim your zone.

Life ain’t a highlight reel somebody else curates,
It’s built from small choices and the joy you create.
You can’t feel wow from a dream locked away in your mind,
Just like love ain’t felt if your heart stays confined.

So I’m testin’ new flavors—yeah, microvacay mode,
Turnin’ simple little moments into treasure I hold.
Café steam, sunset gleam, five-minute breaks feel sublime,
A pocket-sized escape that fits inside my time.

You want wonder? Then act—don’t just sit and reminisce,
The wow you seek appears when you make room for bliss.
My heart’s a compass, I follow wherever it lifts,
Every day’s a decision to unwrap small gifts.

I want to know what wow is…
Show me the moments that shine.
I want to feel that brilliance…
Lighting my spirit every time.

I wanna see the wonder,
Right here where my real life lives.
I want to know what wow is…
And I want life to show me this.

I used to wait for “one day” like it carried all the hope,
But that future-thinking trap had me walkin’ a tight rope.
Why dream about someday when today’s in my hands?
Why save all my joy for some faraway plans?

Like that power ballad said, love’s a climb worth the fight,
But wow’s the same hill—you gotta step into the light.
And not years—just minutes you intentionally claim,
Turn your everyday errands into sparks in your frame.

Try a new route home, try a new tune tonight,
Take a late walk alone or share a laugh in the moonlight.
You’ll never know what your wow is sittin’ safely at rest,
You gotta move with intention, put your soul to the test.

And bring others with you—let your crew chase the thrill,
Microvacay missions powered by curiosity’s will.
Nothing bonds like discovery, it electrifies the scene,
A small shared moment becomes a lifetime dream.

Real wow ain’t theory—it’s lived, it’s tasted,
Just like true love ain’t real if the moment’s wasted.
So I keep on exploring, refusing to guess,
’Cause wow only shows when you show up—nothing less.

I want to know what wow is…
Show me the moments that shine.
I want to feel that brilliance…
Lighting my spirit every time.

I wanna see the wonder,
Right here where my real life lives.
I want to know what wow is…
And I want life to show me this.

You can’t find your wow by waitin’ in the wings.
You discover it by daring, trying everyday things.
Say yes more often, step out into the unknown—
That’s where the spark hides, waiting to be shown.
You’ll only know wow when you live it…
Same as love.

I ain’t hunting perfection—I’m collecting the true,
Little tiny revelations painted every shade of blue.
A warm drink after chaos, a sunrise you didn’t expect,
A microvacay moment that earns your respect.

My dream life ain’t distant—it’s here when I choose,
Built in tiny bright fragments I refuse to lose.
You want your wow? Then move—don’t retreat, don’t delay,
It’s found in the minutes you decide to reclaim each day.

When the world feels heavy, I don’t wait for escape,
I build magic where I’m standing—reshape the landscape.
That’s the secret of wow—it’s not far, it’s not new,
It’s hiding in the now… it’s waiting for you.

I want to know what wow is…
Show me the moments that shine.
I want to feel that brilliance…
Lifting my heartbeat every time.

I wanna see the wonder,
Right here where my real life lives.
I want to know what wow is…
And I want life to show me this.

Yes, I want to know what wow is…
Let every day deliver its gifts.
I want to know what wow is…
And today…
I’m living it.

Yeah…
It’s not someday.
It’s not one day.
It’s today—
Small doses, big meaning.
That’s how you learn what your real wow is.
Live it… one moment at a time.
