Lyrics

A SMALL WIN

verse1

SEVEN YEARS OLD
RED BALL CAP
STANDS AT THE PLATE
SWINGS HIS BAT
THAT'S STRIKE ONE
LIFE IS LIKE THE GAME SOMETIMES THE GAME'S NO FUN

chorus1
HE NEEDS A LITTLE MIRACLE A SMALL WIN
EVERY NOW AND THEN ENOUGH TO LET HIM KNOW
HE AIN'T LOSIN THE GAME HE'S IN
ONE STEP FORWARD NO STEPS BACK
LET HIS SHIP COME IN LET THE GOOD GUYS WIN
A SMALL WIN

verse2
MONDAY MORNING
A MAN WAKES UP
SLEEP IN HIS EYES
COFFEE IN HIS CUP
ANOTHER INTERVIEW
THINKS OF HIS FAMILY AND HOPES THIS ONE COMES THROUGH

chorus2
HE NEEDS A LITTLE MIRACLE A SMALL WIN
EVERY NOW AND THEN ENOUGH TO LET HIM KNOW
HE AIN'T LOSIN THE GAME HE'S IN
ONE STEP FORWARD NO STEPS BACK
LET HIS SHIP COME IN LET THE GOOD GUYS WIN
A SMALL WIN

bridge (revised lyric lines 1-3)
WHEN LIFE SHAKES YOUR FAITH BRINGS YOU TO YOUR KNEES
MAKES YOU QUESTION WHAT YOU BELIEVE
THERE?S NO GIVING UP, NO GIVING IN
ALL WE REALLY NEED
ALL WE PRAYIN FOR
IS A SMALL WIN

verse3
YOUNG SINGLE MOM
RAISIN HER KID
DIDN'T HAVE TO HAVE HER
BUT SHE DID
IT'S A FULL TIME JOB NEVER A MOMENT?S PEACE
WHEN IT?S ALL TOO MUCH SHE LOOKS DOWN AND SEE'S

chorus3
A LITTLE MIRACLE A SMALL WIN
EVERY NOW AND THEN ENOUGH TO LET HER KNOW
SHE AIN'T LOSIN THE GAME SHE'S IN
ONE STEP FORWARD NO STEPS BACK
GAINS A LITTLE GROUND STANDS UP FALLS DOWN
A SMALL WIN
IT'S A REAL BIG DEAL SHE'D DO IT ALL AGAIN
A SMALL WIN

outro-verse4
SEVEN YEARS OLD
RED BALL CAP
THREE BALLS, TWO STRIKES
ONE LAST CHANCE
THE PITCHER THROWS FIRE
HE AIMS A LITTLE HIGHER ...CRACK!!
