original
demo version:
|
 |
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
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
|
With
concentration, my size increased |
And now I'm thirteen
storeys high |
Empire State
Human, just a bored kid |

As big as a wall,
