Everything I see, it is bigger than me
I’ve seen what I wanted to see and I want to go home
And the past I tried to leave, it was bigger than me
I tried to be who I tried to be
Bigger than me and as far as I can see
A single leaf in a forest of trees
Bigger than me
And the things you gave to me were all bigger than me
And you just kept on giving them for free
And your personality, and all the things you guaranteed
They were all bigger than me
And this small epiphany it is bigger than me
A big impossibility that I never could own
And the man I tried to be, he was bigger than me
A piece of my tiny history
Bigger than me and as far as I can see
A single drop in a raging sea
Bigger than me

This album grows on me more and more with each listen. Bodner's approach to taking traditional music and reworking it and weaving it into his own personal narrative is amazing. On Into Grace, his own narrative is in the forefront. mad_wanderer
