I strolled through the market taking my time
When I saw my old teacher oh man not sublime
Memories flooding back he never saw me shine
So I turned on my heels and I run feelin' fine
But life has its twists can't quite define
What you leave behind it's just a sign
In the market of life strange encounters unfold
From classrooms of envy to lovers grown bold
Lessons from the past they teach us to roam
In the chill of the night we find our own home
I bumped into a stranger right there in the aisle
With a smile like sunshine that could light up a mile
We exchanged a few words then a spark lit the way
Now my heart beats a rhythm that's here to stay
Oh fate what a dance it's a curious ride
From an old lesson learned to a new love inside
In the market of life strange encounters unfold
From classrooms of envy to lovers grown bold
Lessons from the past they teach us to roam
In the chill of the night we find our own home
So I smile at the past let it softly fade
For in the arms of a stranger my heart's remade
