In my own little world it hardly ever rains
|
I've never gone hungry or always felt safe
|
I got some money in my pocket shoes on my feet
|
In my own little world
|
Population me
|
I try to stay awake through the Sunday morning church
|
I throw a twenty in the plate but I never give 'til it hurts
|
and I turn off the news when I don't like what I see
|
it's easy to do when it's
|
population me
|
What if there's a bigger picture
|
what if I'm missing out
|
What if there's a greater purpose
|
I could be living right now
|
outside my own little world
|
Stopped at the red light, looked out my window
|
Outside the car, saw a sign, said "Help this homeless widow"
|
Just above this sign was the face of a human
|
I thought to myself, "God, what have I been doing?"
|
So I rolled down my window and I looked her in the eye
|
Oh how many times have I just passed her by
|
I gave her some money then I drove on through
|
in my own little world there's
|
Population two
|
What if there's a bigger picture
|
what if I'm missing out
|
What if there's a greater purpose
|
I could be living right now
|
outside my own little world
|
Start breaking my heart for what breaks Yours
|
give me open hands and open doors
|
put Your light in my eyes and let me see
|
that my own little world is not about me
|
