Chariot (I Know) Songtext
von Ryan Montbleau

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 want

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, 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
I know
Oh, 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 or 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 DJ
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
Oh, I know
