"'Giant' was written in Berlin , in the freezing cold in [bad word]  For the DVD Live.And Alone , they said, 'Okay, we want to film you down by the Berlin wall, at Checkpoint Charlie.' I remember being there in 1988 when it [bad word] communist and scary, and then I was there in '89 when the wall came down. Now Checkpoint Charlie is a souvenir stand. I stood there and I was [bad word] and blown away with what people who need to move ahead can do. I was inspired to write a song, very general, about any situation of the downtrodden or the underdog-you could put it to a sporting event-to be that general, but specific that I, personally, just me, can make a difference. It was a real challenge.

"When I was working up 'Giant,' it was so simple in that rock & roll way that we all know. I tried to make it today-sounding and went in these other directions, but I [bad word] back. It's a big [bad word] song, that's just what it is." - Melissa Etheridge

You tried to hold us down
You tried to hold us back
You tried to make us wrong
You tried to make us crack
You wanted to see us cry
You wanted to see us leave
You didn't count on the tide
You didn't count on the pride
You didn't count on me

I am a giant
And you will not make me fall
And you will not make me crawl
I am a giant
And I'm not alone
Winds of change have blown
And the [bad word] tumbling down

And I've learned from my mistakes
Picked myself up off the floor
I have learned just what it takes
Now I am stronger than before
And we are standing side by side
We are determined now to win
We [bad word] too far
And we've got the scars
And we are never going back into the shadows again

I am a giant
Hey hey bye bye
