美國歌壇天后［惠妮休斯頓］──嘻哈／靈魂／R&B──［Somebody Bigger Than You and I／某人比你我偉大］

Somebody bigger than the Earth is round

Bigger than the saddest frown

Bigger than the brightest smile

And longer than the longest mile

Somebody bigger than the biggest fight

And darker than the darkest night

Bigger than the biggest gun

Cause hes the only shining sun seemon

Who made the mountains

Who made the trees

Who made the rivers that flow out to the seas

And who hung the moon in the starry, starry, starry sky

Somebody bigger

I know I know hes bigger than you and I

My God is bigger

Somebody bigger

Hes bigger, hes bigger than you

Hes bigger than you

My God is, my God is oh

Now who made the flowers bloom in the spring, yeah

And who writes the songs for the robins to sing uh

And who sends the rain when the Earth is dry

I know, I know, I know

Somebody bigger yeah

Than you and I

Somebody bigger than you and I

Bigger than you and I

He lights the way when road is alone

Keeps me company with love to guide you

He walks beside you just like he walks with me

When I am weary, and filled with despair

Who gives me courage to go on and on and on from there

And who gives me faith

I will never, never, never, never, never doubt

Somebody bigger yeah

Somebody bigger than me and you

Bigger than you and I

Somebody bigger

My Lord is bigger than you

Bigger than you and I

He lights the way when the road is long

Keeps you company with love to guide you

He walks beside you just like he walks with me

Somebody bigger than you and I

Bigger than the open sky

Bigger than the tallest tree

Bigger than the deepest sea

Somebody deeper than the desert sands

Bigger than the tallest man

And phatter than the phattest phat

Bigger than the Shaq attack

Somebody bigger

I know I know hes bigger than you and I

My God is bigger

Somebody bigger

Hes bigger, hes bigger than you

Hes bigger than you

My God is, my God is oh
