Being Small
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah, yes, oh
Why I wanna be a hurricane
When I'm barely a breeze
Cuz I've already seen Your storm
Bring me down to my knees
Just when we think we may be high enough
You knock us back to the ground
We are trying to move up fast
Can't see the contrast
Of how the King came down
Cuz I can't build my towers higher
And live inside Your fire, no no no
Whenever I climb too high
Keep my feet on the ground
And when I get full of me turn me upside down
You know pride and not just summer
Come before the fall
So if You that's getting bigger
I don't mind being small
Being small
Maybe if I shout real loud
Maybe then I'll draw a crowd
And they'll finally cheer
Or maybe I should tone down
Never make a sound now
Anything to draw them near
Or maybe there's more to life
Than trying to make a name
Even though they say it ain't so
So maybe I should step on down
Hand off the kings crown
To the God on the throne
Cuz I can't build my towers higher
And live inside Your fire, no no no
Whenever I climb too high
Keep my feet on the ground
And if I get full of me turn me upside down
You know pride and not just summer
Come before the fall
So if You that's getting bigger
I don't mind being small
These people won't miss me
I will be out of their memories
The ground will forget me for sure
Only one is remembered
One name to be treasured
Is Yours
So now when I climb too high
Keep my feet on the ground
And if I get full of me turn me upside down
You know pride and not just summer
Come before the fall
Ooo
So maybe hopefully I see less of me
And more of you and its true
I'll be finally free
That's what I want after all
Yeah
Whenever I climb too high
Keep my feet on the ground
And if I get full of me turn me upside down
You know pride and not just summer
Come before the fall
So if You that's getting bigger
I don't mind being small
Being small
Being small
Being small, oh oh oh
Yeah
Being small, oh oh oh oh
Being small
