"Big boss man
Can't you hear me when I call?
Well, you ain‘t so big
You just tall, that‘s all...


You got me workin', boss man
Workin' 'round the clock
I wanna little drink of water
But you won't let me stop


Gonna get myself a boss man
One gonna treat me right
Work hard in the day time
Rest easy at night
Big boss man
Can't you hear me when I call?
Well, you ain‘t so big
You just tall, that‘s all"

Indeed, when it comes to greatness, size truly doesn't matter.

After all, How tall is the Bodhisattva of Compassion?
