Little Big Boy
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.
Brimstone fire and eyes aglow
Little big boy's making the whole world know his name, name
Raised on pillars and shining lights
breathing smoke for the right to keep his place, place
Never satisfied till they all see
How big this little boy can be
Well the water's rising
Tides comin' in
Does little big boy know how to swim?
In a pond filled with fish bigger than him
Oh, little big boy's gonna see how little he really is
Well he clawed up cliffs till he was sick
But desperation is a tricky fickle thing
It never really sits still
And all getting higher is gonna do is make
You look as small as the whole world looks to you
To you
Never satisfied till they all see
How big this little boy can be
Well the water's rising
Tides comin' in
Does little big boy know how to swim?
In a pond filled with fish bigger than him
Oh, little big boy's gonna see how little he really is
Well the water's lapping at your heels boy
Do you really feel like
The world's gonna end if you're not at the top
'Cause once you claim that throne
Once you call it all your own
The climb never (never)
Never (never)
Never stops (never)
Well the water's rising
Tides comin' in (tides coming in)
Does little big boy know how to swim?
In a pond filled with fish bigger than him
Oh, little big boy's gonna see how little
Oh, little big boy's (he really is)
Gonna see how little he really is
