I want to run up every mountain
I want to wade through every ocean
I want to gaze upon these fields from clouds above
I want to start off each day swimming
Meet me 18,000 women
Don't I want to fool around to the finish
I want to fall in love
And don't I want to dance all night
To a new school rag
Take my tune and carry it
Spin me 'round, spin me 'round
Spin me 'round, sweet chariot, swing low
I want to love, I want to learn to love everything
I want everyone to love all the words I sing
But the world's too big
The world's too big, I know
Yeah, I know, I know, I know
And I met a man from San Bernardino
Says his life ain't all that great
Says he missed his shot at the big time
When the little Titanic sank
He still got himself into the movie, though
He was a third hand or a third mate
And he don't think it's all that great
It's not the role he wanted
Shit, I know people in New York
Who'd kill to get that job
Seems like everybody moving forward
But got their head up in the stars
I want to tell them all be patient, now
You get there if you take it slow
But it don't work like that, the world's too big
The world's too big, I know
Yeah, I know, I know, I know
Oh, I know
Yeah, I know, I know, I know
And I know this great big world, it could not have a care
Spinning 'round in circles, so obtuse and unaware
Really so small, it's like it isn't even there
So what if I die here
So what if I run a marathon or else just lie here
So what if time moves on
If all I am is gone, what could right and wrong
So what is it, so what is it I want
I want to run up every mountain
I want to wade through every ocean
I want to gaze upon these streets from clouds above
I want to start off each day swimming
Meet me 18,000 women
Don't I want to fool around to the finish, I want to fall in love
And don't I want to dance all night
To an old deejay
Take my tune and carry it
Spin me 'round, spin me 'round
Spin me 'round, sweet chariot, swing low
I want to love, I want to learn to love everything
I want everyone to love all the words I sing
But the world's too big
The world's too big, I know
Yeah, I know, I know, I know
I know
Yeah, I know, I know, I know
