lyrics

The Little Things

So god made it hard on the little things. They had to look up to everything
They had to punch at the air while the world held them at arms length.
Could not compete with the big galloots who had their big golden parachutes
All bundled up in their big and tall suits and eating everything.

Yes, god gave a little to the lesser things and dumped the rest on the higher beings
They had it all in great quantity and would not let it go.
They couldn’t find a place for all that stuff. They couldn’t build a palace big enough
The little people tried to dream one up but they didn’t know what for

Ground to dust, rise back up.
Dear sweet little things, it tears my heart to shreds

~solo~

People make it better people make it worse, people can explain away the universe.
But all those answers don’t account for much and we still do what we must
Because god gave a little to the least of us. A little love and a little trust
He really hoped we wouldn’t make a fuss, just get on that big bus

Before we’re ground to dust, we rise on up
Dear sweet little things, it tears my heart to shreds.
