lyrics

Bigger theys come bigger theys fall
Big ideas gotta start out small
I got a will now get outta my way!
N' I got a soapbox n’ somethin t’ say!
Them’s fightin words, them’s somethin fierce!
It's your heart, your heart I'm-a aimin' to pierce!

Come you down-trodden, you lame, you too proud
Unload yer burdens n’ lets sing aloud
“We didn’t write the story, didn’t invent the game,
we sing eternal glory, Yer eternal name!”

Bigger theys come bigger theys fall
Big ideas gotta start out small
I got a will now get outta my way!
N' I got a soapbox n’ somethin t’ say!
Them’s fightin words, them’s somethin fierce!
It's your heart, your heart I'm-a aimin' to pierce!

Come you wicked, you kind, you know who
Unload yer burdens n’ lets sing the truth
Of who You are, who You are, who You are
You're the one who was, is, and is to come
One who was, who is, and is to come
You were, you are, is and is to come

You choose the weapon I'll show you how to fall.
Big ideas gotta start out small
I ride the freight train baby, any which way you will
If you got bones in your body, I'll give 'em a chill!

Bigger they come bigger they fall.
Big ideas gotta start out small
I got a will now get outta my way!
And I got a soapbox n’ somethin' to say!
Them’s fightin' words, them’s somethin' fierce!
It's your heart, your heart I'm aimin' to pierce!

Jon Ransom Portland, Oregon

Jon Ransom started playing guitar and writing songs at age 18, and over the course of a decade, has amassed an arsenal of songs ranging from quiet, contemplative tunes to anthemic folk rock ballads. No-frills, heart-on-your-sleeve, pure, unadulterated honest music. It's personal, intense yet fragile, and prone to bouts of incendiary cacophonies of melody and harmony. ... more
