"A Great Big World"

In a small little room

There sits a small little girl

Who was handed the pain

From a great big world



On the shoulders of

A frightened girl

Sits the fate of

A great big world



The weight is bearing down

Breaking her heart

But she holds the world

With a soul torn apart



She carries this burden

With her heart everyday

But hides the tears

Caused by the pain



She shows no pride

And never has a smile

Although shes been holding

This burden for awhile



As the time passes by

This girl begins to grow

After all the years passed

Her pain no one knows



The weight is getting

Harder for her to bear

Her concentration is breaking

She knows its not fair



A day finally comes when

This small little girl breaks

Now the pain of a great big world

Is a burden for someone else to take.
