My Own Little World - Matthew West

In my own little world

It hardly ever rains

Never gone hungry

Always safe

I got some money in my pocket

Shoes on my feet

In my own little world

Population me

I try to stay away awake

'Til 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

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 the 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

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

Oh, my own little world

I'm going to 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 wanna 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
