Mountain Giant

lyrics

Walking through the woods out by my home,
I fell into a trap I should have known,
Better than to fall into a ditch,
Set up by a giant in the hills.
I fell ten stories down into a hole,
It cut deep through my skin into my soul.
I looked up at him, he looked at me,
He was tall and ugly as could be,

And I said to him...
I am not strong but I am powerful,
I might be short, but I am not that small.

I don't think you understand,
I don't think you understand,
I don't think you understand,
What it means to be a... man.

I knew there was nowhere I could go,
He picked me and lifted me out of the hole.
Held me up real close up by his head,
I looked at him and this is what I said,

Yeah I said to him...
I am not strong by I am powerful,
I might be short, but I am not that small.

I don't think you understand,
I don't think you understand,
I don't think you understand,
What it means to be a... man.

I am not strong but I am powerful,
I might be short, but it's my heart that's tall.

I don't think you understand,
I don't think you understand,
I don't think you understand,
Oh, what it means to be a... man.

Oh, don't wait, underestimate me. (3x)
Oh, don't wait, underestimate me now.
