lyrics

Now you don't have to count the petals to see the beauty in the rose
And you can dive into the river and never know which way it flows
And you can wish upon a star at night, and never know its name
Reach your destination, never know the way you came

And you can bite into the apple, no matter how it grew
Sleep beneath the summer sky, whatever makes it blue
And you can paint the perfect sunset and never think the world is round
You can listen to the music, as it travels at the speed of sound

But don't think your eyes are open, when your heart is so afraid
That all the world would lose its magic if you saw how it was made
Don't you let your fear overcome your curiosity
For it seems as though the more you know, not less but greater grows the mystery

And if there's a God up there in Heaven, do you think He always planned
That we might scratch beneath the surface to see the workings of His hands
For the more that we uncover what truly lies below
The more we start to realise how little that it is we'll ever know

And you don't have to count the petals to see the beauty in the rose
You can dive into the river and never know which way it flows
But there is wonder in the night sky though there's footprints on the moon
And even when you know the score, there's simply no accounting for
The beauty in the tune
