Big World Lyrics
Looked up at the sky tonight,
Saw the cold wind breathing through my sight.
I thought about my dad tonight
and asked God "Is he gonna be alright?"
And my mind thinks I can't give enough
and I can't pour enough.
And my love is not enough in this big world.
Sat and talked to dad today.
He told me stories leaving for the states.
No time to share my Fathers time,
just learning who this man is I call Dad.
And my mind thinks I can't give enough
and I can't pour enough.
And my love is not enough in this big world.
Saw the cold wind breathing through my sight.
I thought about my dad tonight
and asked God "Is he gonna be alright?"
and I can't pour enough.
And my love is not enough in this big world.
He told me stories leaving for the states.
No time to share my Fathers time,
just learning who this man is I call Dad.
and I can't pour enough.
And my love is not enough in this big world.

THIS IS THE SADDEST SONG! Every time I hear it I just feel wrecked and I think about my dad. But it's right. My love is not big enough for this big world.
Totally agree. Mike is a pro at writing songs that cut to the heart. I'm sure I read somewhere (maybe liner notes) that he wrote this about when is Dad got sick, and I guess it's about not showing or your parents not knowing how much they mean to you.
All very non-cryptic. Like I said, Mike says it how it is. Excellent song writer.
