| 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 |
