The world is too big
/ The world is too big
The world is too big,
there’s too many folks.
I want to get to know them all,
But hell! so much socializing
would indeed be a joke.
The world is too big,
so many gullies and mountains to climb.
I want to walk them all,
but in this one little life
there isn’t enough time.
The world is too big,
sitting within a universe that’s even bigger.
And it’s making me
feel so small,
just a wee little nipper.
The world is so big
I think I’ll go back inside.
Lock the doors
of my little house,
and hide.
