lyrics

What if squirrels all ran toward us
And people all ran away
And the army ants all went to heaven
And the mantis forgot to pray
And subway ads all bought each other
And left us all alone
What if we all went to school
And the banks forgave the loan?

Do you believe in miracles?
Do you believe in some kind of sign?
Stranger things can happen
They happen all the time
The world could stop spinning
The sun could eat the moon
You could turn around and say
I think that I love you

What if flowers grew in hell
After hell had frozen over
And the devil just went to sleep
For the month of October
And what if when he woke up
Eyes all sad and glum
Said I think my war here’s over
It’s time that I move on

Do you believe in miracles?
Do you believe in some kind of sign?
Stranger things can happen
They happen all the time
The world could stop spinning
The sun could eat the moon
You could turn around and say
I think that I love you

Now take this long and winding ribbon
Ride it up to the sky
Weave it through the planets
Look the sun right in the eye
And say to his golden face
You should come out a little more
Don’t you know we all
Could use just a little more?

Do you believe in miracles?
Do you believe in some kind of sign?
Stranger things can happen
They happen all the time
The world could stop spinning
The sun could eat the moon
You could turn around and say
I think that I love you
