Little Victories

When your baby up and leaves you
Up and leaves you flat
Don't you laugh, my friend
Sometimes it happens just like that
First you feel the anger
Then the sorrow will soon take control
And there'll be hard times for sure
Long cold lonely nights

It might not sound like much
But it'll mean a lot, you'll see
Every hour you survive
Oh, will come to be
A little victory
Little victory

And as you struggle through each day
Each strange new day
Feeling lost and wounded
Tryin' hard to find your way
No one there to talk it out with
Learning how to sleep alone
Overcoming each new doubt
Trying hard just to accept it all

Every time you keep control
When you're cut off at the knees
Every time you take a punch
And still stand at ease
Little victories
Little victories (alright)

And when night falls
And there's no one around
The cruelest time of all
Not one sound
Listenin' to the wind blow
Listening to the ticking of the clock
Trying hard to forget
Trying hard just to accept it all, oh

As you step out in the night
Take a lesson from the trees
Watch the way they learn to bend
With each breeze
Little victories
Little victories
Little victories
Oh, little victories

Every time you make it through
It's another little victory
Day by day, minute by minute
Little victories
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh
Little victories
Little victories
