Mark McGuinn - Deep lyrics

rate me

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

But I can not begin to tell you how much I don’t care

‘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

Don’t ask the Lord to grow you tall as him, to grow you deep
