I miss the times we used to share
You'd run your fingers through my hair
Those moments shaped me bit by bit
And now that I think back on it
I need those memories to remind me
Of what to find me
The unfinished concrete that we found
Carved our initials in the ground
You'd hold my hand and say to me
That all that I wanted to be
Was right within my grasp if I
Would just try
We were giants
Conquering the world
Thinking we could make a dent
We were giants
Holding up our hands
Forgetting all the time we spent
Standing on the shoulders
Of the giants
Who came before us
Just today I had a thought
Of all those silly things I got
My parents gave me all they could
And I never understood
They were giving me the things
They themselves
Never had
I've never seen my father cry
He holds it in and so do I
Whether I like it or not
I guess it's just what I was taught
I try my best to just be
Like my dad
We were giants
Conquering the world
Thinking we could make a dent
We were giants
Holding up our hands
Forgetting all the time we spent
Standing on the shoulders
Of the giants
Who came before us
My grandma passed away
Just the other day
I couldn't breathe at all
Nothing could break my fall
When my phone rang
My heart felt this awful pain
Like I just knew
My world had gone askew
Before I could even blink
All that I could think
When I got the news
The people I could lose
Before I could pay respects
I thought
My parents might be next
And it's hard
But now I see
That one day it'll be me
We're just babies
Entering the world
And then our worlds are changed for good
We were babies
Taking our first steps
Until one day we stood
We stood
And we were giants
Conquering the world
Thinking we could make a dent
We were giants
Holding up our hands
Forgetting all the time we spent
Standing on the shoulders
(Standing on the shoulders)
(Standing on the shoulders)
(Standing on the shoulders)
Standing on the shoulders
Of the giants
Who came before us
