[Verse] We learned to call it luck when something big arrives, A better job, a bigger house, a higher place in life. A number in the bank, a car we've dreamed about, A holiday we've waited for, something we can count. We save our little wishes for a brighter day, Keep chasing after things that always seem a little far away. And while we're busy looking for the moment that will change our lives, A hundred little moments quietly pass us by. [Pre-Chorus] We don't see them anymore, We don't stop the way we did before. [Chorus] Right Place, Right Time That's where all the little miracles used to find us, Right Place, Right Time Back when every ordinary day could surprise us. A summer afternoon could feel like paradise, A single moment could be everything we needed in our lives. Right Place, Right Time We just didn't know how lucky we were. We didn't need tomorrow, we lived one day at a time, Every little moment fell perfectly in line, Nothing had to happen for the whole world to shine, Right Place, Right Time [Verse] Do you remember tadpoles swimming in a stream? How watching them for hours could become the greatest thing? The day we found a rabbit's nest and saw the babies moving there, Or the first day of the holidays, with nothing we had to care. May beetles landing softly on the sleeves of our old clothes, And the ice-cream van arriving with that song everybody knows. We'd hear it down the street and run as fast as we could, And somehow just that sound could make an ordinary day feel good. [Pre-Chorus] We didn't need a reason why, We found a little wonder just by being alive. [Chorus] Right Place, Right Time Those were the days when nothing had to matter, Right Place, Right Time A tiny piece of wonder could make everything feel brighter. No bigger plan was waiting somewhere out of sight, We had enough within the moment standing right before our eyes. Right Place, Right Time We never knew how much those days would mean. We never counted hours, we never watched the clock, We found our little treasures in every hidden spot, And every passing moment felt somehow just fine, Right Place, Right Time [Verse] Now we're always running somewhere, always something left to do, Our minds are full of tomorrow before today is even through. We measure what we're missing, what we haven't reached or won, And barely notice evening settling softly with the sun. We think that luck is waiting somewhere further down the road, In something big enough to finally make us feel we've made it home. But maybe all those years we called our ordinary lives Were filled with little pieces of a happiness we left behind. [Bridge] We should learn to see this world through children's eyes again, To notice all the little wonders waiting now and then. The things we hurry past are happening every day, The beauty we once noticed hasn't simply gone away. We should slow down and see what we've forgotten to see, The world is still as full of wonder as it used to be. We should learn to stop and let the ordinary shine, And find the little moments hiding in plain sight. We don't have to find another life, We only have to notice this one. [Final-Chorus] Right Place, Right Time We can let the smallest moments matter once again, Right Place, Right Time And give our restless minds a reason to slow down now and then. The world keeps giving more than anything we planned, In passing little wonders we can finally understand. Right Place, Right Time There's more to life than what we thought we'd find. [Outro] The greatest kind of luck is never something far away, It is still waiting in the middle of an ordinary day. The little things we once saw without needing any reason why, Are still there in the world around us if we stop and let them by. Right Place, Right Time... Right Place, Right Time... Little moments passing by... Right Place, Right Time...
