Lyrics
FALLEN SHORT AGAIN
When I was little I wanted to be seven foot tall, To be a giant among men
To run faster, throw harder than anyone else, To tower above all of them
Sometime later I realized size wasn?t it, The mind was the seat of all power
High IQ, education and pure intellect, Would build up my ivory tower
But I?ve fallen short again, Just like I did then
And I want to be great in somebody?s eyes, But I?ve fallen short again
Yes, I want to be great in somebody?s eyes, But I?ve fallen short again
Why do I try to grow just a few inches more
And why do I lie, ?bout the place where my feet hit the floor
You say you know me but your sizing me up, tearing me down
Standing up straight and stealing my crown
To be great is to be the servant of all, To take up my cross every day
To love others and God with heart, mind and strength
To live out the words that I say
And to live out the words that I say
But I?ve fallen short again, Just like I did then
And I want to be great in somebody?s eyes, But I?ve fallen short again
O I?ve fallen short again, fallen short again
And I want to be great in somebody?s eyes, But I?ve fallen short again
