Everybody Started Out Small

Look at an elephant, it weighs eight tons
look at a pine tree, reaching for the sun
see that giraffe, twenty feet tall
but everybody everybody everybody everybody
everybody started out small.

Your mom and dad, seem so giant
they seem so strong and self reliant
but they used to wear diapers and they used to crawl
but everybody everybody everybody everybody
everybody started out small.

One tiny seed can make a sequoia
one grain of sand makes a shiny pearl
one little baby makes a boy or
girl who’s ready for the great big world.

You start out small, but you never know
what you’ll become or how far you’ll go
so take a little step and if you fall
remember everybody everybody everybody everybody
everybody started out small.
