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
And when the goin' gets rough, and you feel like you may fall
Just look on the bright side, 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, and you feel like you may fall
Just look on the bright side, 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 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
And when the goin' gets rough, and I feel like I may fall
I'll look on the bright side, I'm roughly six feet tall."
