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 apologize 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?

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.
