Own little world

This song is one of those songs that makes you think, and it should. We shouldn't get so caught up in our own little worlds, we should look out to the others around us and see the world that we live in. 

"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 through 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, ooo 

Stopped at the red light, looked out my window 

I saw a cardboard sign said “Help this homeless widow” 

Just above that 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, woah 

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 wanna miss what matters 

I wanna be reachin' out 

Show me the greater purpose 

So I can start livin' right now 

outside my own little world, (yeah) 

my own little world, (yeah),yeah, yeah 

my own little world"
