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