While looking 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 shooting star going by While studying a brand new hole in my sneaker Finding a quarter and an old bus token I nearly missed a rainbow I nearly missed a sunset I nearly missed a shooting star going by. Looking down at the ground means you Know where you're going No head-up-in-the-clouds to lead you astray But you can't ever have any kind of dream That way While looking at my feet, at a crack in the sidewalk An old tin can by the side of the road I nearly missed that rainbow Don't want to miss that sunset I wouldn't miss that shooting start going by Passing me by Going right by
