"Does It Ever Cross Your Mind?" lyrics
Does it ever cross your mind
The wonder that it is to be alive?
Taking in a purple sky
Or waking to the splendor of the day
And that crosswalk guard in a yellow vest
Leading children to their morning bell
One last thought came streaming through the cracks
And stopped me in my tracks along the way
Of all the corners of the universe
We wound up hand in hand
Picking up the slack in each other's lives
Right here where we stand
Some may call it a coincidence
But I prefer design
I guess what I been wondering is
Does it ever cross your mind?
I could've been born in Bangladesh
But I wasn't, I was born here
With just enough jellybeans in my basket
To ask you to go a'wishing on a star
That same star might've broke from the big ol' bang
It's almost too much to comprehend
Yes, this world is full of mystery
But somewhere from the secret we descend
Of all the corners of the universe
We wound up hand in hand
Picking up the slack in each other's lives
Right here where we stand
Some may call it a coincidence
But I prefer design
I guess what I been wondering is
Does it ever cross your mind?
The miracle of all of this
Does it ever cross your mind?
The wonder that it is to be alive?
Taking in a purple sky
Or waking to the splendor of the day
And that crosswalk guard in a yellow vest
Leading children to their morning bell
One last thought came streaming through the cracks
And stopped me in my tracks along the way
Of all the corners of the universe
We wound up hand in hand
Picking up the slack in each other's lives
Right here where we stand
Some may call it a coincidence
But I prefer design
I guess what I been wondering is
Does it ever cross your mind?
I could've been born in Bangladesh
But I wasn't, I was born here
With just enough jellybeans in my basket
To ask you to go a'wishing on a star
That same star might've broke from the big ol' bang
It's almost too much to comprehend
Yes, this world is full of mystery
But somewhere from the secret we descend
Of all the corners of the universe
We wound up hand in hand
Picking up the slack in each other's lives
Right here where we stand
Some may call it a coincidence
But I prefer design
I guess what I been wondering is
Does it ever cross your mind?
The miracle of all of this
Does it ever cross your mind?
