Lyrics

There are gi ants in the sky!

There are big tall ter ri ble gi ants in the sky!

When you’re way up high and you look be low At the world you’ve left and the things you know, Lit tle more than a glance is e nough to show You just how small you are.

When you’re way up high and you’re on your own In a world like none that you’ve ev er known, Where the sky is lead and the earth is stone, You’re free to do What ev er pleas es you, Ex plor ing things you’d nev er dare ’Cause you don’t care, When sud den ly there’s A big tall ter ri ble gi ant at the door,

A big tall ter ri ble la dy gi ant, sweep ing the floor.

And she gives you food And she gives you rest, And she draws you close To her gi ant breast, And you know things now that you nev er knew be fore,

Not till the sky.

On ly just when you made a friend and all, And you know she’s big, but you don’t feel small, Some one big ger than her comes a long the hall To swal low you for lunch.

And your heart is lead and your stom ach’s stone And you’re real ly scared be ing all a lone,

And it’s then that you miss all the things you’ve known And the world you’ve left and the lit tle you own.

The fun is done.

You steal what you can and run!

And you scram ble down And you look be low, And the world you know Be gins to grow: The roof, the house, and your moth er at the door.

The roof, the house, and the world you nev er thought to ex plore.

And you think of all of the things you’ve seen, And you wish that you could live in be tween, And you’re back a gain, On ly dif f’rent than be fore,

Af ter the sky.

There are gi ants in the sky!

There are big tall ter ri ble awe some scar y Won der ful gi ants in the sky!
