You’re making a mistake his friends would say
If you don’t allow him in the game to play
Come on coach just give him a shot
To prove to you, all that he’s got
So he’s small in stature, what’s all the fuss
He’s got more to offer then any of us.
With his lightening speed and agile grace
To not let him play would be such a waste
‘Cuz his quiet strength and inner resolve
“To be the best, a step above”
Serves him well in all that he tries
And makes one forget his relative size
What better lesson for one and all
To succeed in life you don’t have to be tall
If you don’t allow him in the game to play
Come on coach just give him a shot
To prove to you, all that he’s got
So he’s small in stature, what’s all the fuss
He’s got more to offer then any of us.
With his lightening speed and agile grace
To not let him play would be such a waste
‘Cuz his quiet strength and inner resolve
“To be the best, a step above”
Serves him well in all that he tries
And makes one forget his relative size
What better lesson for one and all
To succeed in life you don’t have to be tall

A special man in my life would tell me stories about how, growing up, he was often overlooked by football coaches due to his being shorter then the other players. You could tell it kind of hurt - this was my way of letting him know "I understand".
