|
i met a man who was half as tall |
|
in his mind then against the wall |
|
he was standing on his knees |
|
i met man who was half as wise |
|
in his mind and in his eyes |
|
they were bloodshot from all he'd seen |
|
when the words that we hear |
|
echo through the years |
|
when the thoughts that we've wrought |
|
take root in our hearts |
|
when the echo's of doubt creep up and out of your mouth |
|
won't you bury them six feet under |
|
i met a man who was half as bold |
|
in his heart than what his muscles could show |
|
he was weak in the knees |
|
i met a man who was half as rich |
|
in his heart than what his income could fix |
|
wash it out, this tide is cleansing |
|
it's pouring in and the water's rising |
|
flowing in, your voice changing |
|
hear it out and the sound is deafening |
|
you're twice as strong. you're twice as bold |
|
no more believing what you've been told |
