Something Greater

By Matthew West

Lyrics

One day we were strangers

Ain’t it crazy how a single moment 

Changes life as you know it

And now we’ve got the same last name 

Thought I was moving to Nashville 

Just to sign a record deal 

But my reason changed when I saw her face


Do you ever get the feeling 

That there’s something greater happening here 

Do you ever get the feeling 

That there’s something greater happening here 

It’s like our hearts are a part of a bigger story


Have you ever seen the ocean from the shore

Ever stood under a blanket of burning stars 

And tried to count ‘em all 

Did it make you feel small 

Have you ever felt peace in the middle of pain

Witnessed a miracle the doctors say they can’t explain

We think we’re in control, but are we in control 


It’s beautiful, it’s tragic 

It’s something more than magic 

It’s the laughter, it’s the tears

It’s the road that led us here 

It’s the majesty, the mystery

It’s a billion heartbeats symphony 

Like a river to the ocean 

One hand sets it all in motion 


Six pounds ten ounces 

I’m holding perfect in a little pink blanket

And I thought I moved to Nashville

Just to sign a record deal
