SMALL VICTORIES


johnnie bit his lip and tried to write his letters
this alphabet ain't easy as it looks
but nothing in his life ever made him feel better
than understanding words in his new book
he finally read a story out loud
and smiled knowing it would make his grandson proud

   small victories, they make the biggest difference
   small victories, doing what you can
   put the past behind you... it's history
   you hold the future in your hands
   the path to heaven, you'll see
   is tiny steps like these
   small victories

jennie sat down with her mama and the preacher
a baby at fifteen would be so hard
they cried and begged and did their best to reach her
in the spirit of love, in the name of god
now she's gonna have that baby, she's gonna give it up
to a couple who can't thank her near enough

   small victories, they make the biggest difference
   small victories, doing what you can
   put the past behind you... it's history
   you hold the future in your hands
   the path to heaven, you'll see
   is paved with deeds like these
   small victories

when you know deep in your soul that something's wrong
search your heart, find the power to be strong

   small victories, they make the biggest difference
   small victories, doing what you can
   put the past behind you... it's history
   you hold the future in your hands
   the path to heaven, you'll see
   is paved with deeds like these
   small victories
   small victories
