I ain’t exactly certain but I kinda remember something
About the birds of the air flying free
With blossoms and grasses gently bending in  the breeze
And the sun shining down on everything

If I could be like them – if I could believe
Oh – I could know the Big Love
Yeah- the Big Love, baby

Well I’m not into numbers but I’ve counted up the lovers
Just like god has counted each hair on my head
Most gave me something
Some gave me nothing
And I few times I gave less than that

But I told myself, “Hey – this was a chance”
A chance to know the Big Love  Yeah the Big Love, Baby

Big Llove that moves mountains
Big love that grants peace
Big Love that makes a new start

The big shining shimmer
Hiding in the glimmer
Of the faintest of hearts

Once when I was stinkin’ full of rage and drink
I threw my glass of booze against the wall
And as the liquid spattered and the glass smashed and shattered
I screamed out loud “GOD SAVE MY WRETCHED SOUL!!”

And I fell into a pit of black
And there I met the Big Love, Yeah, the Big Love, baby

Big love that moves mountains
Big love that grants peace
Big love that makes a new start
The big shining shimmer
Hiding in the glimmer
Of the faintest of hearts

I am just a sinner in love with the glimmer
Of a spotlight shining on my face
The stage is my meadow where I feel the gentle breeze blow
Where I try to bend closer to the place

Where I am free and I can believe
Believe in the Big Love, Believe in the Big Love, baby

Big Love that moves mountains
Big Love that grants peace
Big Love that makes a new start

The big shining shimmer
Hiding in the glimmer
Of the faintest of heart

I’m laughing at the strangest things, rude and out of place.
The neediness of a beggar man, the sadness on a face.
The pain of being human takes away my breath
I’m laughing at the strangest things, I’m scared to death.

I don’t know how it came to this, my passion and my pride,
Pushed me down a great abyss and up the other side.
A kind of peace worth knowing was beckoning to me. I don’t know how it came to this, but now I’m free.

I’m part of a plan written by a fool.
I’m part of a plan written by a master.
And tho’ I don’t know how I’m trying to believe
in the meaning of this chapter.

I’m certain that I’m here with you now, breathing out and in.
Together we may figure this out or be stuck again.
Baby!  I am for you, however it will be.
I’m certain that I’m here with you now and you with me.

I’m full of love that’s self-serving and vain
I’m full of love that’s worth giving
And though I don’t know why I’m trying to be true
To this flame that won’t stop burning.

I’m laughing at the strangest things, rude and out of place.
The neediness of a beggar man the sadness on a face.
The pain of being human takes away my breath
I’m laughing at the strangest things, I’m scared to death.
