Story Behind The Song
After months of not producing a single note, I decided not to sit and wait for inspiration. I sat down, grabbed a pen and started writing lyrics. What ran out from my pen was the thought of letting go of my worries, letting go of my concerns about the way I act and the way I view things, and just open of for the universe and focusing on seeing the bigger picture.
The simple guitar intro was inspired my a ainger/songwriter friend of mine, The Carlsson Experience, who unlike me always keeps it simple on the guitar.

Lyrics
I started thinking less about the impressions I give,
and I started thinking less about the expressions I get,
and I started thinking less about my sadness and my happiness.
I just replaced it all with the universe,
with God,
with the bigger picture.
With the universe,
with God
and the bigger picture
I push my worries aside,
breathe 'em out and let 'em fly
Open up and let it all out
Get up and start breathing, breathing.
See the sun and the birds in the sky,
be conscious as the days go by
Open up and let it all in
Open your arms and open the doors
for the universe, for God,
for the bigger picture.
For the universe, for God
and the bigger picture
