ABOUT THE SONG
Words & Music by Bruce Carroll and Billy Sprague
Produced by Bruce Carrol and Bruce Koblish
Appears on: Big World, Return of the Killer B's

Inspired by the John Eldridge book Wild At Heart - a call to arms for men to be what we are created to be. God gave us a big wide open world to live an exciting adventurous life in.

LYRICS
I don't know how it happened
One day I woke up here inside this cage
Once I was lion hearted
Till resignation took the place of rage
But the source of my strength and all my hope
Kept whispering this secret in my soul

It's a big world
Battles to be one
Adventures yet to come
It's a big world
Beauty to defend
Faithful to the end
This is what life is
I was meant for this big world

I don't know what will happen
The unknown doesn't scare me anymore
My quiet desperation
Convinced me I was never meant to roar
Now I'm fiercely devoted can't lock me in
My heart is free and dangerous again

Give me strength to face the dragons
Bigger dreams to imagine
Help me keep a heart of passion, God I pray
