Something Big Lyrics



Like a grain of sand

That wants to be

A rolling stone

I want to be the man

I’m not,

And have the things

I really haven’t got

And that’s a lot



There’ll be joy

And there’ll be laughter.

Something big is what I’m after now

Yes, it’s what I’m after now



After taking, take up giving,

Something big is what I’m living for

Yes, it’s what I’m living for

Living for



Why must 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 I’m through
