you&#039;re only as tall <br /> as your heart will let you be <br /> and you&#039;re only as small <br /> as the world will make you seem <br /> and when the going gets rough <br /> and you feel like you may fall <br /> just look on the bright side <br /> your roughly six feet tall

You had the world by its handles
And you were going so far
You were loved and respected from here and afar
But the sadness got the best of you
It hit you like a tree
And now you’re rotting in the ground
Because of all the sad things
That brought you down and dragged you to the earth
You’re a cold dark corpse just waiting to be unearthed
