We all want to be giants.

To be higher than anyone else.

To have those we look down on

Look up at us

If you close your eyes and just imagine

We can be larger than life itself

A boy named Jack killed a giant

I personally never believed these tales

Then again, what does killing a giant really entail?

 

What if we all contain a power

And these giants were nothing more than cowards inside us

So large they control our own movements

So scared of our own self-improvement.

 

If Jack killed a giant
I believe we all can.

I believe we all can shine

Outshine our giants. Our shadows.

If you don’t succeed the first time,

Work a little harder

Nobody has the sanity for a departure

Love and fate have a funny way of being intertwined.

So make the best of your life and love.

Love your sisters, your brothers

Even the bully

Because you might not know it now

But it was him that made you.

Not into what you should be

But let you know what you could be.
