Something Big lyrics


(Burt Bacharach - Hal David)

Like a grain of sand
that wants to be
a rolling stone
I want to be the man
I m not,
and have the things
I really haven t got,
and that s a lot.

There ll be joy
and there ll be laughter.
Something big is what I m after now
Yes, it s what I m after now.

After taking, take up giving,
something big is what I m living for.
Yes, it s what I m living for,
living for.

Why do I go on
And fill my life with little things
when there are big things I
must do,
and lots of dreams
that really should come true
before I m through.

There ll be joy,,,

After taking, take up giving,...
