Shorter but Stronger

(mmm-hmm) Seventeen years old

but you're looking up

To a thirteen-year-old

who outgrew his cup

Little brother's taller,

standing in the hall

While you're looking up,

standing by the wall

But height don't mean a thing in the end

You've got a strength that I can't defend

Yeah, I'm the tallest one in the room

But you can lift the weight of the gloom (oh-oh-oh)

I might tower high

with my shoulders wide

But you've got the fire

and the grit inside

You challenge me to wrestle

on the kitchen floor

And you pin me down,

laughing by the door

But height don't mean a thing in the end

You've got a strength that I can't defend

Yeah, I'm the tallest one in the room

But you can lift the weight of the gloom (yeah,

you lift it up)

We're an odd-sized family tree

Little brother taller

than you'll ever be

And I've got the height but you've got the power

Standing strong in your quietest hour

Little sister, you're the strongest of us all (yes you

are)
