Comet
Pierce Pettis

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
Brilliant accident we had coming all the time.

Oh, seek and you shall find it
That is what they say
Just give it time, don't get lost along the way
Well, I've been a long time waiting
Out here beneath this sky
As if love could find me like a 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
Does it matter if there's no one else around?

Oh, 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 this sky
As if love could find me like a comet in the night

Bridge:
I gaze about the stars and wonder
I can see the lights are on
Is anybody home?

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

A comet streaked across the sky while I was sleeping.
