Giant For A Day
Gentle Giant Lyrics

You can be President Carter, maybe Idi Amin, or say Muhammed Ali
You have the power to imagine and become any person of your choice, regardless of their character or deeds.

Make yourself Marlon Brando, Mickey Mouse, anyone you can see.
You have the freedom to become any fictional or real character that you desire, regardless of their nature or form.

Listen to all these songs tell yourself that it's wrong to even go your own way
Society may try to influence you into conforming to certain expectations, but it's important to follow your own path and not let outside pressures dictate your actions.

Throw away your old cloak, put on your mask, be a Giant for a Day.
In order to let go of your old identity and become someone new, you must shed your old self and embrace the unknown, allowing yourself to become a giant, even if it's just for a day.

Think to yourself you're in Paris, Tel Aviv, Istanbul, or maybe London or Rome.
By using your imagination, you can transport yourself to any place in the world and experience it as if you were really there.

Close your eyes to be there, even though you may be sitting at home.
Even if you are physically constrained to a certain space, you can still use your mind to escape and explore the world around you.

Sitting in a Rolls Royce, if it's the car of your choice or just a black Cadillac.
You have the power to choose your own mode of transportation, whether it be an expensive luxury car or a simple and practical one.

And if you don't think these suit you, just a Porsche or a plain Pontiac.
If the options presented to you are not a good fit, you can still choose from a wide range of other possibilities that better suit your preferences.

You can think your Jack the Ripper, Mama Belle the stripper, you can fight in the streets.
In your imagination, you can take on any role and become any person, even those considered controversial or outside of social norms, allowing yourself to experience things you may not get the chance to in real life.

You can be the French Connection, Harvey Oswald, or the boys on the beat.
Through your imagination, you can become any historical or modern figure, allowing yourself to embody a variety of personalities and lifestyles.

GIANT FOR A DAY, GIANT FOR A DAY PUT ON YOUR MASK IMAGINE YOU'RE A GIANT FOR A GIANT FOR A DAY
By putting on a figurative mask and imagining yourself as a giant, you can allow yourself to free your mind from limitations, and experience the world from a new perspective, even if it's just for a day.
