Verse
The riff's also in the verses; you can play these chords with it...
In my own little world it hardly ever rains
I've never gone hungry or 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 through the 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
Chorus
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, ooh-ooh
Outside my own little world, yea-ah
Verse
Stopped at the red light, looked out my window
I saw a cardboard sign, said "Help this homeless widow"
Just above this sign was the face of a human
I thought to myself, "God, what have I been doing?"
So I rolled down my window and I looked her in the eye
Oh how many times have I just passed her by
I gave her some money then I drove on through
And my own little world reached
Population two
Chorus
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, ooh-ooh
Outside my own little world, yea-ah
Bridge
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
Chorus
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, ooh-ooh
Outside my own little world, yea-ah
