There's roses by the [wayside? 0:12]
There's mountains by the sea
Moher nature's beauty to understand
Then I wonder how big is man
I noticed the headlines in the paper today
Of the rockets that are faster than sound
The advance in space travel, scientist at work
Looking for new worlds to be found
They say that curiosity killed the cat
So the moon is our striving score
But the thing that's strange about all this
Is someone put it there, so someone's been there before
(Then I wonder how big is man)
There's the old sun burning for millions of years
And the fire hasn't even gone out
Why there's a mighty big man been working awful hard
If we'll just look about
The scientist worked to conquer the atom
With power to advance our land
But think of the one that put this power on earth
Why he must have been a mighty big man
(Then I wonder how big is man)
Why he made this earth and he rested for awhile
As he held it there in his hand
So can you tell me, with all our mighty brains
Just how big is man?
Why the power we have is like a tiny grain of sand
We invent many things that are great and new
But we must remember someone had to put them here
First, so we might have them to use
(Then I wonder how big is man)
