I met a man of two feet tall
|
This man was quite ambitious
|
In a world that is so vicious to us all
|
I said, "Hi," as he replied
|
He said, "Listen to these words
|
That I have lived by my whole life
|
|
"You're only as tall as your heart will let you be
|
And you're only as small as the world will make you seem
|
When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall
|
Just look on the brightside - you're roughly six feet tall"
|
|
I met a man of 12 feet tall
|
He towered like a giant
|
In a world that was defiant of his height
|
I said, "Hi," as he replied
|
He said, "Listen to these words
|
That I have dreaded my whole life
|
|
"You're only as tall as your heart will let you be
|
And you're only as small as the world will make you seem
|
When the going gets rough and you feel like you may fall
|
Just look on the brightside - you're roughly six feet tall."
|
|
I am a man of six feet tall
|
Just looking for some answers
|
In a world that answers none of them at all
|
I'll say, "Hi," but not reply
|
To the letters that you write
|
Because I found some peace of mind
|
|
Cause I'm only as tall as my heart will let me be
|
And I'm only as small as the world will make me seem
|
When the going gets rough and I feel like I may fall
|
I'll look on the brightside - I'm roughly six feet tall.
