Keep Your Eye On the Big Picture

When the dots won't joint together And the planets don't always align When circumstance lets you down Keep your eye on the big picture. When people disappoint And there's a gap between actions and words When weakness creeps above the hidden surface Keep your eye on the big picture. When the black dog starts to bark And the birds peck holes in your thoughts When the snake comes knocking your door Keep your eye on the big picture. When tribulation hooks onto your smile And persecution stares down your position Then misunderstanding dissolves your confidence Keep your eye in the big picture. When a cloud covers you with a black shadow Until the rain erodes away resistance As the torrent carries you away Keep your eye on the big picture. When the critic blurs your focus And they tell you what others are saying And the pinprick looks like a bullet hole Keep your eye on the big picture.
