Story Behind The Song

This song was composed after a long conversation with my best friend, regarding world issues. "A Great Big World" has gained international recognition through major songwriting contests, and even paved the way for me to be a guest artist on television not too long ago.

Song Description

It's easy to become comfortable where we are living, and forget that there's a great big world out there. A world filled with people who can't be forgotten.

Lyrics

Here I am, safe and warm
Laughter filling my soul
But in the distance, I can hear the sound
Of a world beyond what I know

(Chorus)
I can see them beyond the horizon
I can feel their pain
God help me to make a difference
In a great big world, today

Hungry still, hands reaching out
For her daily portion, this is all she knows
Sitting there on a pile of rubble
His life is shattered, no place to call home

(Chorus)
I can see them beyond the horizon
I can feel their pain
God help me to make a difference
In a great big world today

(bridge)
God help me to help them
Help me to help them
God help me to help them

Here we are full of wealth
Do you think it was for us to keep among ourselves?
Justice is crying for the least of these
May we open up our lives, be His instrument of peace

(chorus)
I can see them beyond the horizon
I can feel their pain
God help me to make a difference
In a great big world today
