My Own Little World (Tentative Album Version/Album Fade/Digital Single) - Matthew West

Written by：Matthew West/Matthew Joseph West

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 until the Sunday morning church

I throw a twenty in the plate but I never give until 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 window

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

Ooh my own little world

Ooh

Whoa whoa whoa

Yeah yeah

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 ooh

My own little world yeah

My own little world ooh
