 |
| Since I was very
young I've realised |
| I never wanted
to be human size |
| So I avoid the
crowds and traffic jams |
| They just remind
me of how small I am |
|
Because
of this longing in my heart
|
|
I'm
going to start the growing art
|
|
I'm
going to grow now and never stop
|
|
Think like a mountain, grow to the top
|
| Tall, tall, tall |
| I want to be
tall, tall, tall |
| As big as a wall,
wall, wall |
| As big as a
wall, wall, wall |
| And if I'm not
tall, tall, tall |
| Then I will
crawl, crawl, crawl |
| Because I'm not
tall, tall, tall, tall |
|
Tall,
tall, tall
|
|
I want to be tall, tall, tall

|
As

As big as a wall, wall, wall

And
if I'm not tall, tall, tall
|
|
Then I will crawl, crawl, crawl
|
|
Because
I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall
|
| With
concentration, my size increased |
| And now I'm thirteen
storeys high |
| Empire State
Human, just a bored kid |
| I'll go to Egypt
to be the pyramids |
