Let's go back to just a while ago
A couple years or so
Is it 3 or 5 or 9? I'm not sure

Giant scoreboard of life
Can you win, will you last, can you stay in the game for today
Oh, yes, the giant scoreboard of life
Are you ahead or behind or somewhere in the middle, he-ey
Except it's not only a game
'Cuz there is so much at stake
Oh, the giant scoreboard of life
.

Tomorrow is mysterious
Today seems just so serious...
.
In the gi-ant scoreboard of life
