I went to take some needed food
To my brothers off at war
Though I was not yet old enough to fight
When I got there I couldn’t believe
A giant was scarin’ the whole army
Somethin’ told me this just isn’t right

CHORUS
Five smooth stones
I took to face Goliath
Just a kid with a staff and sling
Though he’s near nine feet tall
I could not just sit there
And listen to the giant’s call

He was bellowing and boasting
Making fun of the armies of the Lord
‘Come and fight!’ I heard the giant yell
I tried some armor, but it weighed me down
When he saw me comin’, that giant frowned
But it wasn’t so long before that fella fell

CHORUS

BRIDGE
And I believed
That the Lord would strengthen me
That loud-mouth giant would lose his head
And God’s people would be free

CHORUS
