Lyrics
Once there were giants walking amongst us
Now I have to deal with little men with little hearts
I'm glad my father's not here to see
What happened to men like him
They fought the battles these dwarves can only talk about
Times have been better but littleness won't invade my soul
One word from you and you will make my life whole
I stopped the demons at my door
I lost respect for so called laws
And the lawmakers all exposed themselves as fool
The whole world was smaller then, shrinking so it seems
The giants you've read about are lost to your dreams
I am just a simple man and I need love to survive
I would be happy If there was a sense to my life
I've come to value man as good as their world
I've learned to laugh as what is absurd
I'm beware of man what they move in herds
The whole world was smaller then, shrinking so it seems
The giants you've read about are lost to your dreams
The Earth was a growing place, turning with the sun
And giants you've heard about are gone, all gone
