Big Door Lyrics

By authority of the Board of Directors, on recommendation of the faculty

They confer on you a degree that will let you become a member of society

In the conventional way, you will work, then you will play

You're climbing a ladder that you've built in your mind

Rung by rung, you forfeit time

Everyone else, you pass them by

You climb so high, you think you can fly

They always say, don't forget to smell the roses

You can never come back once the big door closes

Once the big door closes, once the big door closes

Your car, your boat, your house, and your kids all are representing

Your status, your status, your place in life

They always say, don't forget to smell the roses

You can never come back once the big door closes

Once the big door closes, once the big door closes
