It's A Sign

(album: If/Then: A New Musical - 2014)

Yesterday this woman met this man in Madison Park
Quite by chance,
all at random,
as it were
But they met again just now,
in this tunnel in the dark
Could mere chance have caused the two things to occur?
Or could there be another meaning to infer?
Could the universe have a message,
for him and her?

No

You meet a man who is handsome and nice
Quite by chance one day
But then you meet that same handsome man twice
Enticing!
That's not chance, no way
The universe has a message for you
And if you're smart
Then you'll let it through

It's just a gentle shove
A signal from above
It's plain to see
It's meant to be
You're destined for love

It's a sign!
Oh it's a sign!
Like when clouds open up
Or the stars align
It's a sudden smile
A nice surprise
So act just like those wisest guys
And follow that North Star and you'll be fine
It's a sign

People!
Who's read their signs today?

Today a pigeon shit right on my head
It's still in my hair

The Virgin Mary appeared in my bread
I said: "That's her face right there"

I found a sandwich right here on the floor

Now those are signs that you can't ignore!
It's perfect and it's plain
Like rainbows in the rain
One more clue
There for you
Do I have to explain

That it's a sign?
Oh, it's a sign
Like the leaves in your tea
Or the cork in your wine!
It's a lady's wink,
a poet's rhyme
A train door open just in time
It isn't just some handsome stranger's line
it's a sign

It's a new moon on a Monday night
A blue moon on a late-night flight

Patterns in your latte cup
Buttered bread falls butter up
When a stray dog comes to stay
When a black cat walks your way
That tingle in your fingers too
Means something good is here for you

It's a sign!
Oh, it's a sign!
Like when clouds open up
Or the stars align
Read your tea leaves just in case
Read the wrinkles on your face
They're telling you your life is on the line
The galaxy has got your grand design
It's perfect, it's profound, and it's divine
It's divine
It's divine
It's a sign
