Little Big Man

Well the stars are out in force tonight
See them pierce the sky
Hanging there in fifty million years of ancient light
The sun, she slumbers and so do you
Little big man, this ones for you

Well the soldiers fight the dragons
And the dragons take a fall
These matchstick men get up again
And you throw them at the wall
Gravity's a traitor, until you learn the rules
Little big man, I'll teach them to you

When your shoes grow too small
When your back is strong and tall
When the city's got its claws in you
When you bust your lip, you know your keys will always fit
My door will always be open
When you bellow and you holler
When the show don't make you smile
These clowns, they can be wicked, when you see behind their eyes
You may swing and thrash until your arms fall slack
Little big man, I've got your back

Well, your body in the morning
Worn from sleep's carress
I wonder, will you remember the kisses on your head?
I can give you nothing but the love I have
Little big man, I've got your back
