Empire State Human
Since I was very young I realized
I never wanted to be human size
So I avoid the crowds and traffic jams
They just remind me of how small I am
Because of this longing in my heart
I'm going to start the growing art
I'm going to grow now and never stop
Think like a mountain, grow to the top
Tall, tall, tall
I want to be tall, tall, tall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall
Then I will grow, grow, grow
Because I'm not tall
Tall, tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall
I want to be tall, tall, tall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
As big as a wall, wall, wall
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall
Then I will grow, grow, grow
Because I'm not tall
Tall, tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall
With concentration
My size increased
And now I'm fourteen stories high
(At least)
Empire State human
Just a bored kid
I'll go to Egypt to be
The pyramids
Tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Stone by stone)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Growing 'til he's)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Fully grown)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Stone by stone)
Because I'm not tall (Growing 'til he's)
Tall, tall, tall, tall (Fully grown)
Tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Fetch more sand)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Biggest person)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (In the land)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Fetch more sand)
Because I'm not tall (Biggest person)
Tall, tall, tall, tall (In the land)
Tall, tall, tall
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
Growing 'til he's
Fully grown
Brick by brick
Stone by stone
Growing 'til he's
Fully grown
Tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Fetch more sand)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Biggest person)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (In the land)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Fetch more water)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Fetch more sand)
Because I'm not tall (Biggest person)
Tall, tall, tall, tall (In the land)
Tall, tall, tall
Tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
I want to be tall, tall, tall (Stone by stone)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Growing 'til he's)
As big as a wall, wall, wall (Fully grown)
And if I'm not tall, tall, tall (Brick by brick)
Then I will grow, grow, grow (Stone by stone)
Because I'm not tall (Growing 'til he's)
Tall, tall, tall, tall (Fully grown)
Tall, tall, tall
Fetch more water
Fetch more sand
Biggest person

Fetch more water
