I'm gonna come to your window, knock upon your pane Stand back in the moonlight and sing your name Turn your television off, it's just show biz Step out here with me, where the real show is It's a great big world, life down here on earth Let me introduce you to my carnival of friends They come from all four corners on all four winds Thieves up in the castle, kings out in the rain Saints down in the trenches, they're fighting for a change And it's a great big world, life down here on earth Baby, take a mad dash with me, we're gonna give it all we're worth Come down from your tower, there's so much here to see Life down here, life down here on earth We got head-lights on the highway, stars up in the sky Got a sparkle in my eyes, don't you want to know why I killed a lot of time, that was my greatest sin But, I forgave myself, and I'm alive again And it's a big old world, life down here on earth There's gonna be two dates on your tombstone All your friends will read 'em But, all that's gonna matter is that little dash between 'em Yes, it's a great big world, life down here on earth Well, it's a big old world, life down here on earth
