"Little Victories" lyrics

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
Ah, will come to be
A little victory
Little victory

As you struggle through each day
Each strange new day
Feelin' lost and wounded
Tryin' hard to find your way
No one there to talk it out with
Learnin' how to sleep alone
Overcomin' each new doubt
Tryin' hard just to accept it all

Ah, 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
Listen to the tickin' of the clock
Tryin' hard to forget
Tryin' 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
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Little victories
Little victories
Oh
