If a man could stand as tall
As high as a man could fall
Then should he not hide his height from all?
And if a woman would walk
As fast as a woman would talk
Then should a woman hide from those who stalk?
What if a child should cry
As deep as it's mother should sigh
Then would the whole of heaven be bound to nigh'?
But a man is not as tall
If he shall fall
Then it is not just him but the eyes of all
And a woman can not walk
As fast as a woman will talk
And that is why she will be constantly stalked
Only a child's cry
Will make it's mother deeply sigh
It is this that heaven is long gone nigh
