The Biggest Bully is the Weakest Coward

from Small Kindness by Englewood

lyrics

Now I remember what I learned as a child,
That the biggest bully is the weakest coward.
I do remember that I learned this as a child,
That the biggest, loudest bully
Is the smallest, weakest coward.

The one who yells the loudest is most afraid to hear,
To listen to the pain of others, acknowledge his own fear.
The one who can't feel strong without a weapon, without a gun,
Must know somewhere in his heart that he's the weakest one.
He's the weakest one.

Now I remember what I learned as a child,
That the biggest bully is the weakest coward.
I do remember that I learned this as a child,
That the biggest, loudest bully
Is the smallest, weakest coward.

The ones who cannot empathize with the victims of assault
Must feel that somehow, someway they must have been at fault.
What makes them cold enough to turn away the poor?
What makes them too afraid to open up their doors?
Open up their doors!

Now I remember what I learned as a child,
That the biggest bully is the weakest coward.
Yeah, I do remember that I learned this as a child,
That the biggest, loudest bully
Is the smallest, weakest coward.

And some who start as bullies can grow up into friends,
Who open up their arms and hearts to others' pain.
And some who start as bullies can learn how to be strong,
While putting down their weapons,
and sharing our sad sweet songs.
Sharing sad sweet songs.

Now I remember what I learned as a child,
That the biggest bully is the weakest coward.
I do remember that I learned this as a child,
That the biggest, loudest bully
Is the smallest, weakest coward.
The biggest, loudest bully
Is the smallest, weakest coward.
