Josh Groban's song 'Bigger Than Us' reflects on feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges and the need for something greater than oneself. The lyrics express a sense of smallness and reaching out for hope, acknowledging that personal strength is insufficient. The song conveys a universal longing for purpose and connection beyond human limitations. While not explicitly Christian, its themes of surrender, reaching out to the sky, and acknowledging a power greater than oneself align with spiritual seeking. The repeated phrase 'bigger than us' suggests a recognition of divine or transcendent help.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Who would've known

In the blink of a moment

The world turned upside down

Trying to cope by

Looking for hope

And I think about


Ooh, what's come of us?

Ooh, it's all too much


I feel so small

With my hands up to the sky

I am reaching out tonight

'Cause this is bigger than us

I give my all

But it's just too much to hope

No I can't do this alone

'Cause this is bigger than us

Bigger than us


It's like everything changes

Still nothing change

We arrive and we begin

Running in circles

Searching for purpose

With an open hand


Ooh, what's come of us?

Ooh, it's all too much


I feel so small

With my hands up to the sky

I am reaching out tonight

'Cause this is bigger than us

I give my all

But it's just too much to hope

No I can't do this alone

'Cause this is bigger than us

Bigger than us


And we lose ourselves in battles we are fighting

Gotta break away


I feel so small

With my hands up to the sky

I am reaching out tonight

'Cause this is bigger than us

I give my all

But it's just too much to hope

No I can't do this alone

'Cause this is bigger than us

Bigger than us
