Great Big World Lyrics by Shawn McDonald

The Search

2018

[Chorus]
It's a great big world outside
And you might see it with your own eyes
[Verse 1]
'Cause when we were young
We used to dance out in the sun
We would fly our kites
Let our spirits take flight
Head full of dreaming
Searching for meaning
Standing and believing, let it
We would try
We could touch the sky
[Chorus]
It's a great big world outside
And you might see it with your own eyes
[Verse 2]
The hard life is eloquent
And we are like immigrants
Into a land
Our stories that will unfold
You only got one life to live
You gotta find, you gotta give
And keep on pressing on
[Chorus]
It's a great big world outside
And you might see it with your own eyes
[Bridge]
Don't let fear
Swallow your heart
For this is where
The journey starts
The great unknown
The story untold
Unfolds
[Outro]
It's a great big world
