Matthew West - My Own Little World Lyrics

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
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

Stopped at a 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 the 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

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
My own little world

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?
I could be living right now

I don't want to miss what matters
I want to be reachin' out
Show me the greater purpose
So I can start living right now, outside my own little world

My own little world, yeah, yeah
My own little world
