[00:00.34]Stornoway - The Bigger Picture
[00:12.13]you may have seen the thread of silver on the window in the bathroom
[00:18.82]that was thicker than the thread your heart was hanging from
[00:24.82]you may have seen the lid of darkness clamping down upon a sunset
[00:31.38]no less tightly than your heart was beating strong
[00:35.00]in the bigger picture, there's a thread thirteen times thinner
[00:44.07]in the bigger picture, there's a lid fourteen times tighter
[00:50.57]in the bigger picture, there's a night fifteen times darker
[00:57.01]and it'll hold you like no other, in the bigger picture...
[01:03.07]you may have seen the first star flickering in the park one summer evening
[01:10.19]no less faintly than the dream your heart was wishing on
[01:17.94]you may have seen the seagull circling on the haze above the factory
[01:22.51]with more purpose than the course your life was on
[01:28.76]but if you haven't seen the places you have come from
[01:35.32]then you haven't seen how far you have come
[01:41.07]in the bigger picture, there's a star sixteen times fainter
[01:47.82]in the bigger picture, there's a course seventeen times straighter
[01:53.76]in the bigger picture, there's a dream eighteen times greater
[02:00.01]and it'll steer you like no other, in the bigger picture...
[02:04.70]
[02:35.70]you may have seen the blazing bonfire burning bright in fickle beauty
[02:40.63]that was turned to lifeless ashes in the morning
[02:45.04]you may have seen the single snowdrop where it shivered in the graveyard
[02:51.48]no less fragile than the soul to which you cling
[02:57.61]but if you haven't seen the people you have come from
[03:04.04]then you haven't seen the person you've become
[03:10.04]in the bigger picture, there's no answer to your prayers
[03:16.10]in the bigger picture but there's a billion other fires
[03:22.65]in the bigger picture, you'll learn how to build yours higher
[03:29.02]when you've seen the savage wonder in the bigger picture...
[03:37.15]in the bigger picture, there's a sea breeze three times fresher
[03:43.65]and it'll make your two eyes water, in the bigger picture...
