Whole Wide World

Whole Wide World

by Mindy Gledhill

I'm gonna walk a hundred miles

I'm gonna whistle all the while

If that's what it takes to make me smile

I'm gonna walk a hundred miles

I'm gonna run right up this hill

Summer sky or winter chill

If I gotta take a break I will

But I'm gonna run right up this hill

I wanna hold the whole wide world

Right here in my open hands

Maybe I'm just a little girl

A little girl with great big plans

I'm gonna go and take a chance

I'm gonna learn to ballet dance

Learn a little something 'bout romance

I'm gonna go and take a chance

I'm gonna live a crazy dream

Impossible as it may seem

Doesn't matter what the future brings

I'm gonna live a crazy dream

I wanna hold the whole wide world

Right here in my open hands

Maybe I'm just a little girl

A little girl with great big plans

I wanna hold the whole wide world

Right here in my open hands

Maybe I'm just a little girl

A little girl with great big plans

You tell me, don't try it

I'm warning you that I won't buy it

All failure is fleeting

I trust it always has its meaning

I wanna hold the whole wide world

Right here in my open hands

Maybe I'm just a little girl

A little girl with great big plans

I wanna hold the whole wide world

Right here in my open hands

Maybe I'm just a little girl

A little girl with great big plans

This is one of those times where I feel like I discovered a song written for and about me. And I gotta say, I'm a big fan of those times.

Plus, this song is just darling.
