Little girl in a red and white dress
Sitting front-row for picture day
Her mom spent all morning tying up her hair
In a bow, with just a touch of spray

There she is, smiling ear-to-ear
Teacher says "You gotta stand in the back;
You know you´re too tall, be quiet, stay small"
And you bet she learned to live with that

Ain´t that the story?
Saying sorry just for being yourself
So insecure ´bout something I couldn´t help

I´m big - larger than life
A million miles high
That once-in-a-century
Big - if legends are loud
And built to stand out
Guess that´s who I´m meant to be
Ten feet tall and I´m proud of it
You can´t make me smaller
You´ll never make me fit

´Cause, baby, I was born to be big

I wanna feel, I wanna let it all in
Wanna laugh until I wanna cry
´Cause it´s a big world for a big-hearted
Big girl, keep on running till I run it dry

You ain´t seen nothing
I won´t apologise for taking up space
I´m not gonna fight it
I´ve been long out of place

´Cause I´m big - larger than life
A million miles high
That once-in-a-century
Big - if legends are loud
And built to stand out
Guess that´s who I´m meant to be

Ten feet tall and I´m proud of it
You can´t make me smaller
You´ll never make me fit
´Cause, baby, I was born to be big

Ain´t that the story?

´Cause I´m big - larger than life
A million miles high
That once-in-a-century
Big - if legends are loud
And built to stand out
Guess that´s who I´m meant to be
Ten feet tall and I´m proud of it
You can´t make me smaller
You´ll never make me fit
´Cause, baby, I was born to be big

You know that I was born to be big
Baby, I was born to be big
