Go on off to sleep
Close your teary eyes and sail away
Time for you to dream
You will understand it all someday

Life is never easy but it's harder when you're young
And being young is something you will overcome
Big as a mountain tall as a tree
Depends on the path that you follow
As long as you try to be all you can be
You'll cast a mighty long shadow (shadow)

If I could teach you life
The biggest loss of all is innocence
It's mostly in your mind
The hardest thing to be is confident
Nothing's quite as risky as believing in yourself
But if you don't believe in you won't nobody else

Big as a mountain tall as a tree
Depends on the path that you follow (you follow)
As long as you try to be all you can be
You'll cast a mighty long shadow
The most important part comes from the heart
And try to always stay just the way you are

Big as a mountain tall as a tree
Depends on the path that you follow (you follow)
As long as you try to be all you can be
You'll cast a mighty long shadow

You're not a quitter that's one thing I know
You'll cast a mighty long shadow

You cast a mighty long shadow
