Giants come and giants go
\nand they leave their mark on the foot-filled snow
\nI follow, losing faith as I go
\nI can’t fill the holes where my feet should go<\/p>\n
Going nowhere, leaving nothing, doing nothing wrong<\/p>\n
but I’m not giving all there is to give
\nstill I do have big things I believe in
\nI’m no giant, but I’ll walk tall if I
\nkeep climbing, keep climbing<\/p>\n
Redwood falls as another grows
\nand they pass it on ’til the last one goes
\nIf I knew how to love as they do
\nI would never stop growing into you<\/p>\n
Going nowhere, leaving nothing, maybe just this song<\/p>\n
but I’m not giving all there is to give
\nstill I do have big things I believe in
\nI’m no giant, but I’ll walk tall if I
\nkeep fighting, keep fighting<\/p>\n
