It is said that Natalie wrote this song for a women who was born with handicaps that seemed too great to overcome. But she did.

"Doctors had to come from distant cities, just to see me/stand over my bed, disbelieving what their seeing. They say I must be one of the wonders/God's own creation, and as far as they see they can offer no explanation. Newspapers ask intimate questions, want confessions/they reach into my head to steal the glory of my story. They say I must be one of the wonders/God's own creation and as far as they see they can offer no explination. Ooo, I believe/fate smiled, and destiny - laughed as you came to my cradle/know this child will be able/laughed as my body she lifted/know this child will be gifted - With love, with patience and with faith. She'll make a way. She'll make a way. People see me/I'm a challenge to your balance/ I'm over your heads how I confound you/and astound you. To know I must be one of the wonders/Gods own creation. And as far as they see they can offer me no explination. Ooo, I believe/fate smiled and destiny - laughed as she came to my cradle/know this child will be able/laughed as she came to my mother/know this child will not suffer/laughed as my body she lifted/know this child will be gifted - with love, with patience and with grace. She'll make her way/she'll make her way/she'll make her way/she'll make her way." Natalie Merchant - Wonder - Tigerlily

He'll make his way. He may suffer but he will be gifted with love - with patience - with grace. He'll make his way.
