IN THE BIG PICTURE

(Copyright © 2007 Ben Greene)

There are roads we come down
When we have no idea what’s gonna come around
When it does, oh my
We get so shaken up we fear we won’t get by

But in the big picture
In the big picture
Our troubles seem kind of small

There are days, sometimes weeks
We don’t know what to do where to stand how to speak
Circumstance out of hand
There’s so much in this world we can’t begin to understand

But in the big picture
In the big picture
We don’t have to understand

Take a deep breath and step back
Now take a deep breath and step way back
Looka there . . .

When our cares wind us ‘round
We come to the water’s edge and stare ourselves down
There we go ‘til we’re gone
It does a body good to know we’re not alone

But in the big picture
In the big picture
The picture’s pretty big (repeat choruses)
