about

I wrote this song about a year ago. I was in a philosophical mood, pondering on the wonders of the universe. I believe that this world is so amazing that it could be no accident that we are here; that we are all here for a purpose.

lyrics

A kaleidoscope of stars
An intergalactic ballet
The planets ride on invisible paths in the brilliant array

Harmony, melody, the balance of creation and decay
I can’t help but think it was meant to be that way
This is all too good to be just an accident
This is all too good to be accidental

Scientific reason
The desire to learn and find
And the perception that distinguishes us as a humankind

Harmony, melody, in the workings of our mind
I can’t help but think that this must be designed
This is all too good to be just an accident
This is all too good to be just an accident
This is all too good to be just an accident
This is all too good to be accidental

Can’t be, can’t be
Can’t be, can’t be accidental
