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 going gets rough    and you feel like you may fall   just look on the bright side   your 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 going gets rough    and you feel like you may fall   just look on the bright side   your 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 im only as tall   as my heart will let me be   and im only as small as the world will make me seem   and when the going gets rough   and i feel like i may fall   I'll look on the bright side    im roughly six feet tall.
