Small Disasters - Dean Lewis

When you're big and troubles seem so far You put your belly up to the bar Squint your eyes, you can almost miss the dirt You tell yourself it couldn't hurt But when you're small You can't walk down the hall When you're small You're not very big at all When you're low, you reach a certain point Where you can't really see the point You can try, but you can't see eye to eye Yet when you're low then you really know But when you're high It's easier to fight When you're high You don't have to know why When you're small You don't have very far to fall When you're small You feel like you belong When you're small You can curl into a ball When you're small No you're not very big at all

She's leaving home, bye, bye No, she won't keep them waiting Dreams she'll follow, so high Birds are born to fly Never alone, follow your lead Home's where your heart will be Up on a wing and a prayer You dare to dream (always remember) No matter how far you get you'll always be Small town beautiful Small town beautiful What's beautiful is you don't even know It's hidden in your heart and your soul Small town beautiful Your eyes shine brighter than big cities You're onе of a kind That smile is so much more than pretty Lеt that light be your guide Inside, yeah, that's where they'll find you Yeah, they could offer the world And all its gold (always remember) Her only treasure on earth, home sweet home She's my small town beautiful Small town beautiful What's beautiful is you don't even know It's hidden in your heart and your soul Small town beautiful Small town beautiful Small town beautiful What's beautiful is you don't even know I see it in your heart and your soul Small town beautiful Small town beautiful I don't think you really even know See it in your heart and your soul Small town beautiful

When the guys in Eli Young Band were thinking about songs To put on their new greatest hits album Do you know that they actally had an album they released Before they were signed to the Big Machine label group? And they decided to go back to that album And pick a couple of songs from there to put on the greatest hits Now the first one that we're gonna play it's called "Small Town Kid" For anybody who grew up in a small town This was Mike Eli's tribute to his small town upbringing And more importantly this song taught Mike something about himself as an artist Who I was in high school where I grew up like it felt very small town Everybody knew what was happening in everybody's lifes And everything was changing and a lot of people were moving there They built this highway and so the access to our town was just changing dramatically And that was kind of like where I was going with writing that song And then it ended up kinda of I think being this ode To being proud of where you came from But I think that-that song for me Was my first outing of figuring out "Hey, I can write a song, that's cool" Like I said, this song was off of Eli Young Band's very first album back in 2005 It was called "Level" This is "Small Town Kid" and you'll find it on "This is Eli Young Band: Greatest Hits" which is available now

Why boasteth thyself, oh evil man Playing smart and not being clever? I said you're working iniquity To achieve vanity, yeah (if I sow, I sow) But the goodness of Jah, Jah I'doreth for Iver So if you are the big tree We are the small axe Ready to cut you down To cut you down These are the words of my Master Keep on telling me No weak heart shall prosper And whosoever diggeth a pit Shall fall in it, fall in it And whosoever diggeth a pit Shall fall in it (fall in it) If you are the big tree, let me tell you that We are the small axe, sharp and ready Ready to cut you down To cut you down (To cut you down) (To cut you down) These are the words of my Master Telling me that No weak heart shall prosper And whosoever diggeth a pit Shall fall in it, uh, bury in it And whosoever diggeth a pit Shall bury in it (bury in it) If you are the big, big tree We are the small axe Ready to cut you down To cut you down If you are the big, big tree, let me tell you that We are the small axe Ready to cut you down To cut you down
