The shoulders of giants

I am walking on the shoulders of giants

But I'll not boast

The view from this height is mind-blowing

I can have this and that

Do this, do that

Because I'm walking on the shoulders of giants

All this is not mine, no

I inherited it all.

So how can I deplete what I came into?

Would I have this experience if it were taken before me?

I'm walking on the shoulders of giants and I pray I won't fall

It's hard to keep my balance

But I have to stand tall

Venturing close to the edge, I wonder:

What if I fall?

But I'm walking on the shoulders of giants

Who is there to catch me if I fall?

It's a long way down but I'll have to pass many limbs before

I touch ground

And I know that walking on the shoulders of giants

Means having many big, helping hands

So I'm walking on the shoulders of giants and I know I'll make them proud

I'll try not to deceive, mistreat or be impatient with those beneath me

If I look down, it must be to help up

I'm walking on the shoulders of giants

And I'm a giant myself

Lord help me to humble myself so that in my walking

I'll not step on someone else.
