Started with nothing more than a conceptual guitar track and a two word phrase - "Sleeping Giants". John took that line and knocked it out of the park! As did everyone who stepped up with parts - my thanks to all of ya's.

Sleeping Giants
My parents left when I was only three
That's when my mind found someone to help me
I need a giant, 'cuz my needs are big...
Sleeping Giants - to watch over me
Sleeping Giants - to help me be brave
I used to fear things that I couldn't see
I'm not afraid if my giant's near me
Sleeping Giants - why don't they wake?
Tried to shake them - what will it take?
All of the kids lying scared in their beds
The poorhouse is dark, all their thoughts full of dread
Then lightning strikes, out the window I see
There is my giant, disguised as a tree
Sleeping Giants - all that I see
Sleeping Giants - what do they dream?
Sleeping Giants - why don't they wake?
Tried to shake them - what will it take?
And in the morning I roll out of bed
Brush my teeth and go outside
As I look to the sky, that's when I see
Two clouds drift on by, then they join as one
Shining brightly in the sun
It's my giant, he's looking down over me
Sleeping Giants - all that I see
They always are sleeping right next to me...
