The Little Things Lyrics

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

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
