Little Victories Songtext

von JD Souther

When I look up the sky is falling
The signs of warning clearly drawn
So many of us here are drifting out to sea
Keep my head down to go on

Little victories
I know you need one
Little victories

In my hometown and family circles
They seem unsure and un-empowered
Oh, they don't understand and you can't help that
Though you can love so hard, that never comes back
Till you just can't take it for one more hour

Little victories
I know you need one
Little victories

I know it hurt sometimes to look around
The sameness of it beats you down
And the best seems all behind
Before you start

Little victories
Oh, I know you need one
Little victories of the heart

Now as we face our uncertain future
Looking on uncharted seas
We see the tear that runs along the curtain
You step right through, you stand with me

Little victories
Everybody needs some
Little victories

Though it hurt sometimes to look around
Blindness only keeps you down
The best meal lie beyond this present and past
The sky they open, the waters part

Little victories
I know you need one
Little victories of the heart
