Taller

I had a dog, more loyal than them all Best one on four legs And you could say That his bark was louder than his bite was hard And you'd be right You'd have him pegged Yeah you'd be right; still more wrong than you'd like Because a house dog rarely needs to bite But he always seems to beg We are all warned of the monsters in our beds Long before they exist And what I've found is We grow in defense and rather than improve ourselves We choose to cut them down But we will learn, when we go to bed after a long long day of chopping heads, Still no taller than we were So you can take a deep breath Because more important than The fact that failure's never been an option Is the truth that success will always be And more important than The ideals that all evil ends in prison Is the present tense Where you are good and free So don't settle 'Cause your fate is kept In a paper envelope inside your head That doesn't seal well, but gets the message sent
