Lyric

I brought my hat and my brave little grin

Found a square hole I could not fit in

Turned my shoulders, tipped my chin

Still that door said, "Not today, not in"

My shoes tap-tap on the painted floor

My heart goes hoppity to the door

I tried one hop, then I tried one more

But the frame held firm like a locked-up chore

Too small, too small

I hear it call

Too small, too small

I can't fit all

The door was too small

Too small for my dream

The door was too small

So I danced at the seam

The door was too small

But I made it a game

Too small, too small

I came back again

Clockwork ears with a polished gleam

Twist, tick, turn in a silver scheme

I bowed to the latch with a polite little beam

Then spun like a toy in a sailor's dream

The mason jar moon in the hallway glow

Watched me shuffle, watched me slow

I wiggled left, I wiggled right

That stubborn door kept its skinny height

Too small, too small

I hear it call

Too small, too small

I can't fit all

The door was too small

Too small for my dream

The door was too small

So I danced at the seam

The door was too small

But I made it a game

Too small, too small

I came back again

Then I laughed, and the room got bright

Why squeeze a storm into a pinhole light?

I picked up speed with a velvet kick

And made that failure look quick and slick

The door was too small

Too small for my dream

The door was too small

So I danced at the seam

The door was too small

But I made it a game

Too small, too small

I came back again

Tick-tock, toes on the floor

I'll find a bigger door

Tick-tock, toes on the floor

I came back again
