Something Big

Like a grain of sand
That wants to be
A rolling stone
I want to be the man
Im not,
And have the things
I really havent got,
And thats a lot.
Therell be joy
And therell be laughter.
Something big is what Im after now
Yes, its what Im after now.
After taking, take up giving,
Something big is what Im living for.
Yes, its what Im living for,
Living for.
Why do I go on And fill my life with little things
When there are big things i Must do,
And lots of dreams
That really should come true
Before Im through.
Therell be joy,
After taking, take up giving,…
