Your hand ain't even half my hand.<br>You challenge me to wrestle, we fight and tussle, finally you emerge on top, victor of the battle.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Lying here on my belly, you the conqueror, smiling to myself, as you chant like a little warrior.<br>So little and small in the big picture, so innocent. You're so happy, yet so dependent.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">If ever those giants come to fight, if ever the dragons breath their fire, or the monsters at night, <br>I'll be there, by your side.
