BIGGER

"BIGGER" is a song composed by Stacy Barthe, Derek Dixie, Rachel Keen, Akil King, and Richard Lawson for the 2019 remake of The Lion King. It was released on July 19, 2019, as part of the film's inspired album The Lion King: The Gift.
==Conception and development==
British singer-songwriter Raye and American songwriter Stacy Barthe collaborated to write "BIGGER" during a writing camp at Beyoncé's studio. "I remember we were both in a really dark, sad place, and we wanted to create something to empower ourselves," said Raye on the origins of the song. "We spent maybe two or three hours on it. It was 3 a.m., and I remember Beyoncé's team came in and heard what we'd created so far and just completely freaked out. It was incredible." Raye revealed to Official Charts that she wrote several songs, but Beyoncé selected "BIGGER" to be the first track of The Lion King: The Gift.

==Lyrics==
If you feel insignificant, you better think again
Better wake up because you're part of something way bigger
You're part of something way bigger
Not just a speck in the universe
Not just some words in a Bible verse
You are the living Word
Ah, you're part of something way bigger
Bigger than you, bigger than we
Bigger than the picture they framed us to see
Even now, we see it
And it ain't no secret, no
Understand the truth about that question in your soul
Look up, don't look down, then watch the answers unfold
Life is your birthright, they hid that in the fine print
Uh, take the pen and rewrite it
Step out your estimate
Step in your essence and know that you're excellent
Rise, the spirit is teachin'
Oh, I'm not just preachin', I'm takin' my own advice
Let mama let you know
Mama's still tryin', I can't get no days off
I don't get no days off
Truly, I'm feelin' it, I had to say that thing twice
Tryin' to be a good wife
Still really hard, I can't lie
But I promised you I will fight, so I fight
If you feelin' frustrated and
You're sinkin', I'm jumpin' in
Forgiveness is key because we're fightin' something way bigger
You'll never lose, we are winners
I'll be the roots, you be the tree
Pass on the fruit that was given to me
Legacy, ah, we're part of something way bigger
Bigger, you're part of something way bigger
Bigger than you, bigger than we
Bigger than the picture they framed us to see
Legacy, oh, you're part of something way bigger
Let love be the water
I pour into you and you pour into me
There ain't no drought here
Bloom into our actual powers
I'll be your sanctuary, you just don't know it
You just don't know it yet
No matter how hard it gets
You got my blood in ya
And you're gonna rise
You're part of something way bigger
You're part of something way bigger
Bigger than you, bigger than we
Bigger than the picture they framed us to be, yeah
Ooh, ooh, you're part of something way bigger
Understand the truth 'bout that question in your soul
Look up, don't look down, then watch the answers unfold
Life is your birthright, they hid that in the fine print
Take the pen and rewrite it
Step out your estimate
Step in your essence and know that you're excellent
Rise, the spirit is teachin'
Oh, I'm not just preachin', I'm takin' my own advice
If you feel insignificant, you better think again
Better wake up 'cause you're part of something way bigger
You're part of something way bigger
I'll be the roots, you be the tree
Pass on the fruit that was given to me
Legacy, ah, we're part of something way bigger
