Bigger Picture Songtext / Lyric

Bigger Picture (Das lila Album; 2004)

Sitting here, I'm feeling weak
You're the source of strength I seek
Looking back I realize
Only you could open up my eyes

Little girl long time ago
Tossed and turned, was forced to grow
Watching me, I'm in your hand
For my life you've held a bigger plan

Now I begin to see the bigger picture
The unspeakable hurts could be used in your plan
I begin to see the bigger picture
What intended to harm me
The pain and the shame
Now works all together
For the good as you said
(And) I see how you paint
A bigger picture

How would my little picture look
Without the measures that you took
Lift the darkness from my eyes
Distinguishing the truth from als the lies

Somewhere in between the lines
That's the place where faith will grow
Strengthened tested and refined
You alone know the way I should go

A bigger picture you know,
it is sometimes hard to see
You stand too close,
can't see the forest for the trees
All you feel is hurt and it sounds quite absurd
Could this be good for anything
