It was my junior year
I believe it was in the fall
The first time I decided that I knew it all
I was moving right along
Thinkin' that I could do no wrong
I remember hearin' someone say
They told me
Chorus
It's a big picture
Little man
It takes a while to understand
You don't always know where you're gonna fit in
When you get through winning the human race
Somebody's there to take your place
So live and love the best you can and remember
The big picture
I was twenty-one I remember back in the spring
The first time I could tell I didn't know a thing
The girl cut me to the bone
I was lookin' to wind up all alone
I remember hearing somebody say
They told me
Chorus
It's a big picture
Little man
It takes a while to understand
You don't always know where you're gonna fit in
When you fall down running the human race
Somebody's there to save your face
So live and love the best you can and remember
The big picture
Bridge
It cuts you down to size
And sometimes I need it
Right before your eyes
I can finally see
Chorus
It's a big picture
Little man
It takes a while to understand
You don't always know where you're gonna fit in
You just keep on running the human race
Follow your heart and find your place
So live and love the best you can and remember
Oh live and love the best you can and remember
The big picture
It's a big picture
