My Own Little World - Matthew West

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
