Lyrics

Verse 1

In my own little world
It hardly ever rains
I've never gone hungry
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
'Til 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
Yeah it's easy to do when it's
Population me

Chorus

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

Verse 3

Stopped at a red light
Looked out my window
I saw a cardboard 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

Chorus

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

Whoa whoa whoa

Verse 4

Father break 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

Chorus

What if there's a bigger picture
What if I'm missing out
What if there's a greater purpose
That I could be living right now
I don't wanna miss what matters
I wanna be reaching out
Show me the greater purpose
So I can start living right now
Outside my own little world
