The Big Picture

Lyin' awake in the hours before morning Watchin' the light push back the dark That big burnin' ball always reminds me How insignificant my worries are In the big picture Still it's the little things that seem to get me When life isn't fair and nothin' goes right I take it out on the people who love me It's easy to do, when you lose sight Of the big picture But in the big picture I see it all so clear What I should do on this earth while I'm here Love on my family and friends when I can And reach out to my fellow man I believe it's a truth that we all have inside us Tested and tried by those come before Ask any wise man and he'll gladly tell you Love or money, which matters more In the big picture 'Cause in the big picture I see where we really are On an oasis in an ocean of stars Sharing the earth and our fears and our dreams More alike than it sometimes may seem Sittin' in front of a beautiful sunrise Feelin' the light where it touches my face I let myself imagine forever And hope that someday I'll find my place In the big picture Cause in the big picture I see it all so clear What we can do with our time while we're here The more walls that crumble in the name of love The better we'll see the beauty of The big picture
