Little Big

The world can be,
A little big place.
And when I’m standing here,
I’m a little big person.

And when I’m standing here,
The rain soaks me,
The sun burns me,
The snow freezes me,
And the wind ages me,
But when I’m standing here,
I’m a little big person.

I see you standing,
Across the way,
And I feel like,
A big little person.

I love you.
Or maybe I don’t,
And I whisper,
Do you love me?

I could run across,
The hills of green,
Right to you,
You’re all I can see,
And you can tell me,
You love me too.

But maybe you don’t,
Maybe I’m a tiny little person,
Who you cannot see.

And when I’m standing here,
I’m a little big person,
And the world is,
A little big place.

I could climb that mountain,
Just over there,
And stand on the top,
Shouting to the heavens.

Or I could join that army,
Marching through the desert,
Cold and calculating,
Achieving.

Or I could just sit here,
Alone forever,
Lost forever,
Wondering forever,
How I fit,
In this little big world.

I wish I could see,
The mountains,
The deserts,
The lakes,
And the tundra.

They are important to the big picture.
They are important to the little big world.

But all I can see is you,
Standing across the way,
And when you make me feel,
Like a big little person,
All I want is you.

And I whisper,
Do you love me?

It echoes across the hills,
It ruffles the grass,
And the world feels like,
A backwards place,
A big little world,
While I listen.

Do you love me?
I hear the returning echo,
Yes.

And I could lie in the valley,
With you,
Forever,
Just holding your little big hand.

The future,
Isn’t so little bit scary,
When I’m not walking,
All by my little big self.

So long as I’m with you,
I can see the mountains,
The lakes,
The desert,
The tundra.

With you,
I can see,
The whole huge,
Little big,
World.

And I know it’s going to be ok.

In this little big world,
We can both stand here,
And be little big people,
Unafraid of our future,
And not alone in this,
Big,
Huge,
Future.

The world can be,
A little big place,
And when I’m standing here,
I’m a little big person.
