Gauntlets
thrown one by one
see how
they run
and when the check doesnand't clear
and itand's time to pay the bill
some are gonna ride it out
some canand't and they never will
and'cause itand's a great big world calling you to take a ride
and itand's a great big world singing come and see and come inside
oh yeah a great big world reminding you youand'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 ainand't no guarantee
and'cause it takes debt and obligation
to fly around so free
And itand's a great big world calling you to take a ride
and itand's a great big world singing come and see and come inside
oh yeah a great big world reminding you youand'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 youand're done
whatcha gonna do first
and where will you make your mark
where you gonna go to
can you find a place to park
seconds from a pardon
but still you think you wonand't
and then it feels like itand's just seconds
and then suddenly they donand't
And itand's a great big world reminding you youand're not alone
and itand's a great big world we only get to rent we never get to own
and'cause itand's a great big world calling you to take a ride
and itand's a great big world singing come and see and come inside
oh yeah a great big world reminding you youand're not alone
so hold on this great big world we only get to rent we never get to own
