BIG

Little girl in a red and white dress
Sitting front-row for picture day
Her mom spent all morning tying up her hair
In a bow with just a touch of spray

There she is, smiling ear-to-ear
Teacher says, "You gotta stand in the back
You know you're too tall, be quiet, stay small"
And you bet she learned to live with that

Ain't that the story?
Saying sorry just for being yourself
So insecure 'bout something I couldn't help

I'm big
Larger than life, a million miles high
That once-in-a-century
Big
If legends are loud and built to stand out
Guess that's who I'm meant to be
Ten feet tall and I'm proud of it
You can't make me smaller, you'll never make me fit
'Cause, baby, I was born to be big

I wanna feel, I wanna let it all in
Wanna laugh until I wanna cry
'Cause it's a big world for a big-hearted big girl
Keep on running 'til I run it dry

You ain't seen nothing
I won't apologize for taking up space
I'm not gonna fight it, I've been long out of place

'Cause I'm big
Larger than life, a million miles high
That once-in-a-century
Big
If legends are loud and built to stand out
Guess that's who I'm meant to be
Ten feet tall and I'm proud of it
You can't make me smaller, you'll never make me fit
'Cause, baby, I was born to be big

Ain't that the story?

'Cause I'm big
Larger than life, a million miles high
That once-in-a-century
Big
If legends are loud and built to stand out
Guess that's who I'm meant to be (ohh)
Ten feet tall and I'm proud of it (ohh)
You can't make me smaller, you'll never make me fit (ohh)
'Cause, baby, I was born to be big

You know that I was born to be big
Baby, I was born to be big
