While lookin' at my feet

At a crack in the sidewalk

An old tin can by the side of the road--

I nearly missed a rainbow,

I nearly missed a sunset,

I nearly missed a shootin' star goin' by!



While studyin' a brand new hole in my sneaker

And findin' a quarter and an old bus token--

I nearly missed a rainbow,

I nearly missed a sunset,

I nearly missed a shootin' star goin' by!



Lookin' down at the ground means you know where you're goin'.

No head--up--in--the--clouds to lead you astray.

But, you can't ever have any kind of dream that way.



While lookin' at my feet

At a crack in the sidewalk

An old tin can by the side of the road--

I nearly missed a rainbow,

Don't want to miss that sunset.

I wouldn't miss a shootin' star goin' by...

Passin' me by...

Goin' right by...
