Something Big - Burt Bacharach

Like a grain of sand

That wants to be

A rolling stone

I want to be the man

Im not,

And have the things

I really havent got,

And thats a lot.

Therell be joy

And therell be laughter.

Something big is what Im after now

Yes, its what Im after now.

After taking, take up giving,

Something big is what Im living for.

Yes, its what Im 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 Im through.

Therell be joy,

After taking, take up giving,…
