Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Since I was very young I realized
I never wanted to be human size
So I avoid the crowds and traffic jams
They just remind me of how small I am
Because of this longing in my heart
I'm going to start the growing art
I'm going to grow now and never stop
Think like a mountain, grow to the top
[Verse 2]
Tall, tall, tall
I want to be tall, tall, tall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall
Then I will grow, grow, grow
Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall
I want to be tall, tall, tall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall
Then I will grow, grow, grow
Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall
[Verse 3]
With concentration
My size increased
And now I'm fourteen stories tall (At least)
[Verse 4]
Empire State human
Just a bored kid
I'll go to Egypt to be
The pyramids
[Verse 5]
Tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Stone by stone)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Growing 'til he's)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Fully grown)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Stone by stone)
Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall (Growing 'til he's)
Tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall (fully grown)
(Fetch more water)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Fetch more sand)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Biggest person)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (In the land)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Fetch more sand)
Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall (Biggest person)
Tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall (In the land)
[Verse 6]
(Brick by brick, stone by stone)
(Growing 'til he's fully grown)
(Brick by brick, stone by stone)
(Growing 'til he's fully grown)
[Verse 7]
Tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Fetch more sand)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Biggest person)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (In the land)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Fetch more sand)
Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall (Biggest person)
Tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall (In the land)
(Brick by brick)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Stone by stone)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Growing 'til he's)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Fully grown)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Stone by stone)
Because I'm not tall, tall, tall, tall (Growing 'til he's)
Tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall, tall (fully grown)
[Verse 8]
(Fetch more water, fetch more sand)
(Biggest person in the land)
(Fetch more water, fetch more sand)
(Biggest person in the land)
