I met a man at 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 your only as small
As the world will make you seem
And when the goin' gets rough
If you feel like you may fall
Just look on the brightside
You're roughly six feet tall"
I met a man of twelve 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
And when the goin' gets rough
If 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 lookin' 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've found some piece 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
And when the goin' gets rough
And I feel like I may fall
I'll look on the brightside
I'm roughly six feet tall
