Next Big Thing

Next Big Thing
V1:
Tuesday morning, 6am,
The sun comes up and it starts again
She loves her children, she loves her man But every day’s the same struggle
Tony’s home from the night shift at 7
15 minutes every morning she sees him
She’s got the kids all ready to go
And she feels guilty for her relief as he walks them out the door
When she dreams at night,
and when she dreams in the middle of the day, she says:
I don't want to be the next big thing, just want to be something,
Don't wanna cause the world to change, Just make my corner a little better Taking it day by day, Making my way from here
To the next big thing
A bride at 19, A mother too
Sometimes life becomes what’s put in front of you Between the the house and the family and 40 hrs a week She says cries “there’s nothing left for me"
“what about me"
Chorus
Bridge:
Everyone said she could sing like an angel
Everyone talked about how far she could go
But over time the vision had faded
And no one was talking about how far she could go
She’s the only one left thinking about how far she could go
On a tuesday morning, a dozen years ago
She's walking easy, singing as she goes:
I want to be the next big thing
I want to cause the world to change, and make my corner a little better Taking it day by day, I’m making my way from here
To being the Next Big Thing
