Be the Bigger Person

You let me down

I pick myself up

I gave you all

But it’s not enough


You taught me a lesson

To be the bigger person

I put you first

While you put me last

I must say it hurts

But I show you some class

'Cause I have learned a lesson
To be the bigger person

And I grow I grow I grow 

By making myself small
Stay little and stay low
To rise above it all

You’ve made yourself clear
This is all you can do

If I’m needing more

Then basically I’m screwed

But I have learned a lesson
To be the bigger person

And I grow I grow I grow 

By making myself small
Stay little and stay low
To rise above it all

I wrote a book

On becoming a giant

But somehow I’m done

And I feel so defiant
What’s in it for me?

What’s in it for me?

When I grow I grow I grow

By making myself small
Stay little and stay low

To rise above it all

You taught me a lesson
To be the bigger person
