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 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 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
