My own little World by Matthew West
Capo 5
Verse 1 :
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
I turn off the news when I dont like what I see
Yeah ,its easy to do when its Population: me
Chorus :
What if theres a bigger picture?
What if Im missing out?
What if theres a greater purpose
I could be living right now
Outside my own little world oooh
Verse 3 : (Same as Verse 1)
Well, I stopped at a red light, looked out my window
I saw a cardboard sign, said "Help this homeless widow"
Above that sign was the face of a human
and I thought to myself, "God, what have I been doing?"
So I rolled down the window and I looked her in the eye
I thought how many times have I just passed her by?
So I gave her some money then I drove on through
And my own little world reached Population: two
Chorus
Bridge :
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
Chorus 2 :
What if theres a bigger picture?
What if Im missing out?
What if theres a greater purpose
I could be living right now
Well I dont wanna miss what matters
i wanna be reaching out
showing the greater purpose
so I could be living right now
Outside my own little world oooh
My own little world yeah
My own little world oooh
