I am a girl standing at 5 feet tall
I don't look like much
But I have a lot to offer
I am smart, I can promise you that
I am clever, I swear upon that
I am mighty, I can put my life on that
Just because you have to look down on me
Doesn't mean you have to look down on me
Because I stand taller than Goliath
At heart I am a giant
Even though I'm tiny,
I have love and life and hope and joy
Seeping from every pore on my face
and every scar on my body
and from my mouth and my eyes
Flow peace and happiness for generations to come
I don't expect to be put on a pedestal
I don't want to be tall
It's not who I am
I will make foolish decisions by seeing what I see
I can only look over short pastures
but not through sycamore trees
So I climb onto my Fathers shoulders too look out and see
Everything that I hadn't when I was small
I can be big too
I can be mighty
I can be strong
Just not in the way that you can
Now I am a girl
And I am emotional
Girls aren't meant to be tough
We aren't meant to bottle up feelings
Crying isn't weakness
It's the strength to let go
So I am small but mighty
On my Father's shoulders I see who I am
I see where I am
But more importantly,
I see who I will be,
And where I am headed
I don't have to worry about being strong
Because he is my strength
I don't have fight these battles,
when the sword is in his hand
And I surely don't have to fall to me knees
When he's the only one who leaves me speechless so
Enough bowing down
Enough submission.
This is who I am
And He is who I want to be
And I have a twice as big heart and half the ego
because he says,
That small and mighty is better than big and weak
And I was once told,
Being at the top means nothing
unless you know what it's like to be at the bottom
I am small and mighty
and you can get over it
