Deep Songtext
von Mark McGuinn

Deep
I knew a man 300 pounds an easy 6 foot 6
And he can crush a normal man with one blow of his fist
But I watched him sell his bell low′s wing make his wife a Valentine
I thought Mister you re too big for that but since then I ve changed my mind
CHORUS: Oh it s not how tall you are, it s how deep
A man is measured by the roots that grow beneath his feet
So when you say your prayers tonight before to go to sleep
Don t ask the Lord to grow you tall as him, to grow you deep
I might not be a 6 feet 6 standing on a chair


Cause I ve read Doctor Soose and Mother Goose
Even dressed me a Barbie doll
My little girl looks up to me and that s close enough to tall
CHORUS:
Oh it s not how tall you are it s how deep
A man is measure by the roots that grow beneath his feet
So when you say your prayers tonight before to go to sleep
Don t ask the Lord to grow you tall as him, to grow you deep
When you say your prayers tonight before to go to sleep
