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."
