Jeremy Messersmith - Giants (Live) Lyrics

If there is a land somewhere in my dreams
Where deep underground
There's a lesson to be found
I'm sure that I don't know what it means
Andre was a man; stood near eight feet tall
Touched the very sky
And whenever he walked by
He made all the grown men look so small
But all the gray haired wrestlers say
You should've seen his glory days
He was beautiful for what it's worth
When the world was young and giants roamed the earth
Andre was the king and heavy was his crown
He battled on TV in Wrestlemania number three
With Hulk Hogan in a final title bout
Andre fought like hell at the Silverdome
But his back began to hurt and the pain kept getting worse
And Hulk Hogan threw the giant from the throne
But all the gray haired wrestlers say
You should've seen his glory days
He was beautiful for what it's worth
When the world was young and giants roamed the earth
Andre died in France near his childhood home
Hogan didn't cry but there was silence on the line
When they told him that the giant died alone
They say Hogan sleeps on a bed of gold
I don't know what's true
Or what giant slayers do
Or what any of us do when we get old
But all the gray haired wrestlers say
You should've seen his glory days
He was beautiful for what it's worth
Yes all the gray haired wrestlers say
You should've seen his glory days
He was beautiful for what it's worth
When the world was young and giants roamed the earth
