Gauntlets Thrown one by one See how they run When the check doesn't clear And it's time to pay the bill Some are gonna ride it out Some can't and they never will 'Cause it's a great big world calling you to take a ride And it's a great big world singing "come and see and come inside" Oh yeah, a great big world reminding you you're not alone So hold on this great big world we only get to rent, we never get to own Inches fill a yard stick Feet slowly walk a mile Make one move then another And then you try to live a while Keep your head and you might make it But that ain't no guarantee 'Cause it takes debt and obligation To fly around so free And it's a great big world calling you to take a ride And it's a great big world singing "come and see and come inside" Oh yeah, a great big world reminding you you're not alone So hold on this great big world we only get to rent, we never get to own Whatcha gonna do first? And where will you make your mark? How are you going to get there? And can you find a place to park? Seasons coming slowly But still they always come And then it feels like just a second And then suddenly you're done And it's a great big world reminding you you're not alone And it's a great big world we only get to rent, we never get to own 'Cause it's a great big world calling you to take a ride And it's a great big world singing "come and see and come inside" Oh yeah, a great big world reminding you you're not alone So hold on this great big world we only get to rent, we never get to own
