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
