J.D. Souther - Little Victories lyrics

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
