about

Originally composed by seasoned industry maestro Dave Filchak, the song reverberates with a message that resonates deeply with the state of our world. What was pertinent in 2017 remains strikingly relevant, if not more so, in the present day.

The lyrical tapestry of "Big World" narrates a profound vision of our global community, one enriched with melodies of optimism and verses of love. As we survey our surroundings, a contrasting reality often unfolds, challenging the utopian ideals we hold dear. Dave Filchak's masterful composition encapsulates this sentiment, drawing attention to the dissonance between aspiration and actuality.

lyrics

Off in the distance I see
Horses running clean
Water running clear
Beneath a clear blue sky
Oh my my my my my

But the dream in this heart
Comes tumbling down
When the eyes in this head
Take a good look around
This big big world

I see people laughing
I feel hearts in love
I see people reaching
Out to one another
Holding on to each other's hands
In every land

But the dream in this heart
Comes tumbling down
When the eyes in this head
Take a good look around
This big big world

Listen to your heartland sing
Spirits in the wind
Borders fall and walls come down
But still, still we want more of
This great big world
It's such a great big world

I want truth and justice
I want harmony
I want peace in this world
And I want songs and laughter
Soaking in the air we breath

So make the dream in my heart
Become something true
When the eyes in this head
Take a good look around
Make the dream in this heart
Become something true
When the eyes in this head
Take a good look around

This big big world
