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
