Yesterday I laid in my bed Made up my mind to stay there instead Fighting the same old fight That I always lose by night Somehow, sometime mid-afternoon As the sunshine lit up my room Somethin' made me sigh And get up for one more try Something bigger than me, braver than me Helps me to face the day Helps me to find my way And makes me believe That I'll be okay Somethin' greater than me, wiser than me Shows me where I go wrong Knows when I'm down too long And gives me the hope I need to be strong Something I can't explain Soothes me like summer rain Listens when I complain Even in my dreams Somethin' bigger than me Kinder than me Loves me the way I am And in some wondrous plan Helps me to be the best that I can Something I never doubt Knows what I'm all about Says it will all work out Even in my dreams Something bigger than me That's what I see Each time a chance comes by Or somebody new says "Hi" Or I start to laugh When I thought I'd cry When miracles happen I always know why What could it be But somethin' bigger than me?
