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 DURING 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
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
OH, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I JUST PASSED HER BY
I GAVE HER SOME MONEY THAN I DROVE ON THROUGH
AND MY OWN LITTLE WORLD REACHED POPULATION: TWO
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
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 WANT TO 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
