I'll say "hi"

But not reply to the letters that you write
G chordG
Because I found some piece of mind

C chordC
Cause I'm only as tall
Am chordAm
As my heart will let me be
F chordF
And I'm only as small

As the world will make me seem

When the going gets rough

And I feel like I may fall

I'll look on the brightside
