Population Me

Matthew West's new song:

In my own little world it hardly ever rains
I’ve never gone hungry or always felt safe
I got some money in my pocket shoes on my feet
In my own little world Population me
I try to stay awake through the Sunday morning church
I throw a twenty in the plate but I never give ’til it hurts and I turn off the news when I don’t like what I see it’s easy to do when it’s population me
What if there’s a bigger picture
what if I’m missing out
What if there’s a greater purpose
I could be living right now outside my own little world
Stopped at the red light, looked out my window Outside the car, saw a sign, said “Help this homeless widow" Just above this sign was the face of a human
I thought to myself, “God, what have I been doing?”So I rolled down my window and I looked her in the eye Oh how many times have I just passed her by
I gave her some money then I drove on through
in my own little world there’s
Population two
What if there’s a bigger picture
what if I’m missing out
What if there’s a greater purpose
I could be living right now outside my own little world
Start breaking my heart for what breaks yours
give me open hands and open doors put Your light in my eyes and let me see
that my own little world is not about me
