Bigger Than the Sky

Little thoughts and little people
Only lead to big, big trouble
Though lonely you may be
That misery loves her company
Focus on your problems
And you watch them double
Better to keep your vision
Pointed on the dreams ahead
Of what you aspire to
And not what you wade through
On that make haste in short why waste
Your individuality in dirty mediocrity when you

Your're bigger than the sky you know
You really are much bigger
And better than the things behind you
Your're bigger than the sky

And then driving home one January afternoon
After being in the clutches
of a particularly small person
And small people they come in all sizes
 lets just be clear on that
I was making my way west on Olympic Blvd.
When I saw the most spectacular sunset
And I let myself breathe it in and I thought
If I cam breathe in this entire picture
Then I must be bigger than it is
and you know what
I was right  and so are you

Chorus

Somebody oughta tell you
Somebody oughta try
Nothin' can overwhelm you
When your're bigger than the sky
And try as they might they'll never
Be able to bring you down
And that's where they want you
For somebody told them
In order for you to feel bigger
You gotta make others feel smaller
And that's just not true
So don't let it happen to you


Because you're bigger than the sky (you know it)
You really are much bigger
Better than the things behind you
You're bigger than the sky
