"My Own Little World"


 "My Own Little World"

Matthew West


In my own little it hardly ever rains

I've never gone hungry, always felt safe

I got some money in my pocket, shows on my feet

In my own little world, population: me

I try to stay awake during Sunday morning church

I throw a 20 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 through to myself, "God what have I been doing?"

So I rolled the window and I looked her in the eyes

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


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


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
