Children Of Coincidence
if i hadn't made a left hand turn if you hadn't made a right if i'd waited just a moment more if you'd missed the light if that car had never blown its horn if that friend had stopped to talk we'd have never met at all if i didn't take that walk i'd have gotten there too early you'd have gotten there too late we are children of coincidence coincidence and fate crossed connection, lost connections empty corners, crowded intersections accidents and incidents we're children of coincidence and chance if he hadn't stopped to pick it up if she hadn't dropped her book when she took it, if she'd noticed him how come we never look? if she hadn't been so very white if he hadn't been so black would she smile and say hello to him? would he have turned his back? Songtexteif she cancelled her appointment would he break his other date? we are children of coincidence coincidence and fate crossed connection (repeat chorus) if the planets were in perfect place if your sign was on the rise if my stars were in complete accord but the sun was in your eyes you'd have only seen my shadow as i passed you on the street and it might have been a hundred years before our souls would meet again and we would still be strangers too early and too late we are children of coincidence coincidence and fate.
