Tall

The smile of the strong, and the care of the week
The roar of the humble, and the love of the meek
The fish in the pond, and the horse in the field
The stars in your eyes, and the smell for the bees

Crazy little world jumping hoops in loops, worrying,
Scathing, breathing, undignified, staring in abyss
Life has some terms, we define their needs,
The world is in a hurry, but not me, not me

Shortened in lies, in guts all tied,
Holding a grudge, cursing too much
Venom dispensed like candy in a store
Meaning too little, destroying the whole

I am tall, tall to your small demands, tall to this world,
Tall to walk, to admire the things above
To stay still and smile, and care, and roar, and love
I am, you are, he is, so is she, we are, we will, stand tall
