My Own Lil World

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
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
Wooh

Stopped at the red light, looked out my window
Outside the car, saw a 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
in my own little world there’s 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
outside my own little world
Wooh

whoa yeah
whoa yeah
whoa

Start breaking 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
Show me there’s a greater purpose
I could be living right now
outside my own little world
Wooh
My own little world yeah
My own little world woo

~Love, Love, Love this song! I totally think this, what if there is a bigger picture and I'm missing out? There has to be more to this life. Otherwise what is the point? We need to get out of "population one" and more like "population everyone!"


November 8th.....There is so much to be thankful for and I never know what to pick. Today though we had an absolutely beautiful day and it was warmer than it has been so we went for a walk at dusk at a nearby park. Just being out in nature and watching the sun set was beautiful. One of my friends said that his favorite time of the day was sunset and sunrise and those two things made life worth living and the best thing was it happened everyday. What a different outlook. It was inspiring and refreshing. I hope I never forget it.
