Lyrics

I AM A LARGE MAN
(words and music by David E Johnston)

I am a large man and you are your own woman
I need love and you need a person
to show you the world, to make it right
With two big arms to hold you tight
I am a large man and you’re new to these parts
You are so slender, the flower of my heart
You blossom, you flow, you will grow
in my large hands
Do you want to see the sights through my vibrating eyes?
I am a large man and I’m still learning
I seek boundaries that are clear
I am sincere
and your own dreams flow through your skull
And I’m finding myself in a new kind of place
I need to share
I find myself needing to care
So let yourself go, fall back, into my arms
And if you come with me I can take you to places
Show you the secrets and the faces
Of the masses, the poisoned, and the few
The fearful, the troubled, it’s up to you
If you let yourself
I am a large man and I’ll catch your fall
You are so small
This is the strap, this is my fist
This is your life passing before your eyes
This is the strap, this is my fist
This is your life
Breathe it in, let yourself go
Fall back
This is the strap, this is my fist
This is your life passing before your eyes
