Strangeness Of The Day

Kate Campbell


They say we're made of atoms
That are much too small to see
And our world is just a part of 
At least a million galaxies

Well I couldn't say 
For certain
But I take it all on faith
Still I can't help but wonder
At the strangeness of the day

If we're spinning 
Through the heavens
On a giant little ball
Don't you think 
That it's incredible
How we manage not to fall

You can say 
The laws of physics
Just make it work that way
But I can't help but wonder
At the strangeness of the day

Most of our moments 
We live unaware
While miracles 
Happen around everywhere
No matter what theories 
You choose to believe
Still it's amazing 
You have to agree

I was talking 
To a good friend
Just the other night
She came across the ocean
Bouncing off a satellite

While I watched 
A purple sunset
She watched the dawn 
Begin to break
And I had to stop and wonder
At the strangeness of the day

When I'm singing 
In this microphone
My voice comes out 
Over there
Somehow my words 
Are carried
By electrons 
Through the air

Marconi did the math work 
And we've got it all on tape
But I'll never cease to wonder
At the strangeness of the day

I wake up and wonder
At the strangeness of the day
