if they might be giants
then I go to sleep
and live my own pretend giant dream

    The giants are the ones who can't pass on any friendly gestures or happy thoughts. Watch tv and the feeling is undeniable very often...it's cold and thoughtless. The "they" I know of aren't right about anything! It's hard, of course, for some to believe that some people are wrong 100% of the time...live and learn.
