A comet streaked across the sky while I was sleeping
Broke into a million pieces in the night
Missed us by so little; passed us by so close
It was right there, and we didn't even know

Doesn't God look out for children and for fools who can blindly stumble right into the truth?
'Til all the pieces fit into a grand design
A brilliant accident we had it coming all this time

Oh, seek and you shall find it – that is what they say
Just give it time and don't get lost along the way
Well, I've been a long time waiting out here beneath the sky
As if love could find me like that comet in the night

Does a heart falling in the forest make a sound other than the pounding axe that brings it down?
Or is it up to me to tell the forest from the trees?
And does it matter if there's no one else around?

Seek and you shall find it – that is what they say
Just give it time and don't get in your own way
Well, I've been a long time waiting out here beneath the sky
As if love could find me like that comet in the night

I gaze up at the stars and wonder
I could see the lights are on
Is anybody home?

Seek and you shall find it – that is what they say
Just give it time; don't get lost along the way
Yeah, I've been a long time waiting out here beneath the sky
As if love could find me like that comet in the night
Oh, as if love could find me like that comet in the night
Yeah, as if love could find me like that comet in the night
