[Verse 1]
It's a great big sky
And there's room enough for all
Underneath the great big sky
Where the earth's a little ball
And a man ain't much
And yet a man is all
That stands up tall
Between the earth and God
Beneath the great big sky

[Bridge]
The fish in the sea
The birds that fly
The elephants and bees
Are all part of the why

[Verse 2]
That great big why
That keeps a man a-wonderin'
All night long a-wonderin'
A-frettin' and a-wonderin'
Beneath the great big sky

[Interlude]
The fish don't do no wonderin'
The birds don't ask no "Why?"
But man keeps frettin' and a-wonderin'
'Til they come to die
[Piano Solo]

[Trumpet Solo]

[Verse 3]
I know the night will pass
I know the dark will go
I know the dawn will come alright
I know for all this fret and wonder
Just a kind of rollin' thunder
In a storm cloud rollin' by
Before the big sun rises in the sky
