The Bigger Picture-Stornoway
you may have seen the thread of
silver on the window in the bathroom
that was thicker than the thread
your heart was hanging from
you may have seen the lid of darkness
clamping down upon a sunset
no less tightly than your heart
was beating strong
in the bigger picture, there's a
thread thirteen times thinner
in the bigger picture, there's a
lid fourteen times tighter
in the bigger picture, there's a
night fifteen times darker
and it'll hold you like no other,
in the bigger picture...
you may have seen the first star
flickering in the park
one summer evening
no less faintly than the dream
your heart was wishing on
you may have seen the seagull
circling on the haze
above the factory
with more purpose than the
course your life was on
but if you haven't seen the
places you have come from
then you haven't seen
how far you have come
in the bigger picture,
there's a star sixteen times fainter
in the bigger picture,
there's a course seventeen
times straighter
in the bigger picture,
there's a dream eighteen
times greater
and it'll steer you like no other,
in the bigger picture...
you may have seen the blazing bonfire
burning bright in fickle beauty
that was turned to lifeless
ashes in the morning
you may have seen the single snowdrop
where it shivered in the graveyard
no less fragile than the
soul to which you cling
but if you haven't seen the
people you have come from
then you haven't seen the
person you've become
in the bigger picture,
there's no answer to your prayers
in the bigger picture but there's
a billion other fires
in the bigger picture, you'll
learn how to build yours higher
when you've seen the savage
wonder in the bigger picture...
in the bigger picture, there's a
sea breeze three times fresher
and it'll make your two eyes water,
in the bigger picture...
