Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
My daddy was a good man, the salt of the earth
I lived beneath his shadow way back then
He set the bar real high for those of us who followed
Youre looking at the end results my friend
Reverend Thomas Clay was a Freewill Baptist
From a little country church he led his flock
He preached from his heart and a King James Bible
Those two men both solid as a rock
(Chorus)
Im standing on the shoulders of giants
Someone who came before me someone who paved the way
Im standing on the shoulders of giants
If I follow in their footsteps Im okay
A carpenter long ago taught us believe
In my Fathers house are mansions just for you
He spoke from his heart, it was written in the Bible
I took him at his word the simple truth
(Chorus)
Im standing on the shoulders of giants
Someone who came before me someone who paved the way
Im standing on the shoulders of giants
If I follow in their footsteps Im okay
(INST)
Modulate to last Chorus
