Little Victories

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
