It's a Big World Out There
Hey there. I'm Molly, and this is just my solo experimentation as I try to fumble my way into a musical career. I haven't written and recorded too many original songs, so a lot of these will be covers.
Story behind the song
No idea. I'd been listening to I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody's Business far too much, if that's possible. But the song, well, it's pretty clear what it's about. Give it a listen or read the lyrics or both.
Lyrics
It’s a Big World Out There
A little boy with a sticky lollipop
Face wet with tears because he is lost
“Where is mom?” he says, “where are you, momma?” and he
Trips over the shoelaces he can’t even tie
And all he knows is that he doesn’t know a thing
And all he knows is that he loves to sing, so he sings
The world is scary, Momma. Please come save me.
The world is scary, Momma. Come rescue me.
The world is scary, Momma, the world is scary
The world is scary, Momma, scary for me
A teenage girl trying to succeed at all costs
Face wet with tears because she is lost
“Who am I?” she says, “who am I?” and she
Trips over the confidence she doesn’t even have
And all she knows is that she doesn’t know a thing
And all she knows is that she loves to sing, so she sings
The world is scary, Momma. Please come save me.
The world is scary, Momma. Come rescue me.
The world is scary, Momma, the world is scary
The world is scary, Momma, scary for me
An old man with ten more pills to pop
Face wet with tears because he is lost
“Where is God?” he says, “Where are you, God?” and he
Trips over the feet he can’t even control
And all he knows is that he doesn’t know a thing
And all he knows is that he loves to sing, so he sings
The world is scary, God. Please come save me.
The world is scary, God. Come rescue me.
The world is scary, God, the world is scary
The world is scary, God, scary for me
And all they know is that they’ve never known a thing.
