Lyrics
Great Big World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's a great big world outside
And you might see it with your own eyes
'Cause when we were young
We used to dance out in the sun
We would fly our kites
Let our spirits take flight
Head full of dreaming
Searching for meaning
Standing and believing, let it
We would try
We could touch the sky
It's a great big world outside
And you might see it with your own eyes
The hard life is eloquent
And we are like immigrants into a land
Our stories that will unfold
You only got one life to live
You gotta find, you gotta give
And keep on pressing on
It's a great big world outside
And you might see it with your own eyes
Don't let fear
Swallow your heart
For this is where
The journey starts
The great unknown
The story untold
Unfolds
It's a great big world
