Little Victories

Words and Music by Bob Seger

 

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 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

 

Everytime you keep control when you're cut off at the knees

Everytime you take a punch and still stand at ease

Little victories

Little victories

 

And when night falls and there's no one around

The cruelest time of all and not one sound

Listenin' to the wind blow

Listenin' to the tickin' of the clock

Tryin' hard to forget

Tryin' hard to just accept it all

 

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

Everytime you make it through

It's another little victory

Day by day minute by minute

Little victories
