Album: Boxing God
As a boy I use to climb up on my daddy's knee
He had big bear paws and shoes size 13 EEE
And he seemed to me to be larger than life
He had a heart bigger than any house on our avenue
A voice and a smile to match it, too
And when he called for you he sounded larger than life
Kids grow up, they figure out, they learn what life's about
That not all things are actual size
Like the picture on a cereal box of a toy surprise
Some things are larger than life
Now I use to run off to the fishin' hole
With my brother, cousin and cane pole
Where every fish we caught was larger than life
Now my brother fixes people, my cousin fixes cars
And those days gone by seem so distant and far
Like the battles we fought that were larger than life
Kids grow up, they figure out, they learn what life's about
That not all things are actual size
Big trouble comes in little white lies
Some things get larger than life
I was seven years old the day I walked the aisle
And I saw my mama's tears and my daddy's smile
And that moment seemed larger than life
'Cause there were angels rejoicing all around
Over the good news and great joy I had found
In a little manger boy who was larger than life
Kids grow up, they figure out, they learn what life's about
That not all things are actual size
There's more than just what meets the eyes
Some things are larger than life
