Matthew West - My Own Little World lyrics
[Matthew West - My Own Little World lyrics]
In my own little world it hardly ever rains
I 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
During Sunday morning church
I throw a twenty in the plate but
I never give till 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
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 a red light, looked out my window
I saw a cardboard sign
Said "Help this homeless widow"
And just above that sign was
The face of a human
I thought to myself, "God
What have I been doing?"
So I rolled down the window and
I looked her in the eye
How many times have I just passed her by?
I gave her some money then I drove on through
In my own little world reached
Population: Two
What if there's a bigger picture?
What if I'm missing out?
What if there's a greater purpose
I should be living right now
Outside my own little world
My own little world
Father break my heart for what breaks yours
Give me open hands and open doors
And put your light in my eyes and let me see
That my own little world is not about me
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
My own little world my own little world
I 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
During Sunday morning church
I throw a twenty in the plate but
I never give till 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
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 a red light, looked out my window
I saw a cardboard sign
Said "Help this homeless widow"
And just above that sign was
The face of a human
I thought to myself, "God
What have I been doing?"
So I rolled down the window and
I looked her in the eye
How many times have I just passed her by?
I gave her some money then I drove on through
In my own little world reached
Population: Two
What if there's a bigger picture?
What if I'm missing out?
What if there's a greater purpose
I should be living right now
Outside my own little world
My own little world
Father break my heart for what breaks yours
Give me open hands and open doors
And put your light in my eyes and let me see
That my own little world is not about me
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
My own little world my own little world
