I guess. Although, I think the lyrics might not be all that different from Sandy's. Maybe we fans had Sandy's original words for comparison at one point. I don't remember. Definitely, all the way down from Emmaline is Stevie's.

Stevie said FM told her that her "poetry" was already in the song and they weren't going to change that. So, the Seven Wonders lyrics turned out to be a happy accident.

Yeah, completely and in a very positive sense. I mean, there is something in that vocal that's real special. It's because I hadn't really thought about the song much so when I walked in and they had cut the track and I walked out there it was my first experience with singing Seven Wonders. So when you hear it, you know that was really the first time I heard it too.
