lyrics

he could be me or you but he was somebody else
he can be tame or rude he’s busy being himself
he doesn’t have a job he doesn’t have a home
but he’s got a place where he can be alone
in the big world it’s a world at large
it’s a big world now give it back a heart
it’s a big world don’t tear yourself apart
it’s a big world let’s make a big new start
he doesn’t need the facts if he’s not in the mood
he’s always making tracks on the search for soul food
and the businessmen are stepping over him
trying to keep himself warm he’s sleeping in the wind
of the big world it’s a world at large
it’s a big world now give it back a heart
it’s a big world don’t tear yourself apart
it’s a big world let’s make a big new start
in a world so large in a world so small
both good and evil want to rule it all
it’s got everything worth fighting for
it’s a world at peace with a world at war
he lives in the shade of the tallest tree
at night I can’t see him but his eyes are on me
and I can feel his pulse we’ve got the same blood type
we’re not different neither sleeps well at night
in the big world it’s a world at large
it’s a big world now give it back a heart
it’s a big world don’t tear yourself apart
it’s a big world let’s make a big new start
