Hollow Giants

They

With their hearts too small

They tower too tall

Over

Little tiny people

With their hearts too big

Too heavy, they're weak

And all these while,

They'll cower and fall.

 

Well don't give up,

You little tiny people.

Keep your heads up,

Be brave against the devil.

 

You'll never know,

These giants too tall

Seem hard for them to fall

But look inside!

 

They're made of dust,

From their outside into their crust.

Their hearts filled with rust,

Corroding so fast.

 

Oh come together,

All little tiny people.

With unity is better,

Be strong and face the hurdle.

 

Your little gentleness

Shall force more than

What great big force

Shall force into gentleness.

 

Maybe these giants

Are hollow inside

Give them your little push

And they'll step aside,

They'll crumble into pieces,

And what you see when you look inside

Is emptiness that fills the space.

 

Take all the love

From your great big hearts.

You can build them up,

Slowly, one by one

Into little tiny people,

Just like you,

With great big hearts

That spreads the love

All around

And around.

 

And by that time

There'll be just little tiny people,

That are so sublime

With the love that goes

All around

And around.

 

And then they'll be

Hollow giants no more

That used to

Trample over people

With their icy cold hearts.

 

They

With their hearts now big

They help the weak.

Now

Little tiny people

Aren't tiny anymore,

With their hearts so big.

And all these while,

They'll be very happy people

And they'll be bringing back every smile.

 

And they'll stay that way

Forever and more,

Happy in a world

Without

Hollow Giants.
