We walk around with blinders on
hoping to survive each day
We only see what lies just in front of us
We stay on that same road trying not to stray
We miss the big picture that exists all around us
Because our fears keep us looking in one direction
We are so determined not to make waves
Our only goal is to save ourselves pain and rejection
Take off the blinders; look left and right
See the opportunities that abound
Life is about more than mere survival
Life is about exploration and discovering new ground
If we look for the big picture, a new view of life
We see the potential that lies ahead
Suddenly, fears melt away from our hearts
And anticipation fills our souls instead
The big picture allows us to see what we can accomplish
What we missed hiding behind our fears
With blinders off we can envision a bright future
Filled with more laughter, more love and fewer tears
