You've been feeling like you just can't measure up
You've been trying but you just can't give enough
Of what everybody seems to want so much of
You've been feeling like the short end of the stick
You've been feeling like you're life ain't worth a lick
And everybody's else's high hopes, you don't want to let them down
No, you don't want to let them down
But you can tell them that
Small is beautiful, small is true
Small is beautiful, small is new
Sometimes it's not about the biggest thing you can do
Because small is beautiful, too
Buildings going up around us everyday
Skyscrapers make it hard to find a way
To see the tiniest things that can mean so much
Like the wonder in a baby's hands and feet
A child dancing in puddles on the street
A kind word that spoken so tenderly
Is better than a symphony
Small is beautiful, small is true
Small is beautiful, small is new
Sometimes it's not about the biggest thing you can do
Because small is beautiful, too
