Little Victory

An old man stands on a street corner, with a wistful look in his eye

He's contemplating his place in the world, as all the nine to fivers pass him by

He's got so many reasons to live for, even those he can't yet see

He'll find a way to leave his mark on the world as that's the way it was supposed to be

'Cause everybody's got something special, something they keep inside

A little dream they're trying to achieve

Everybody's got a little ambition, something for which they strive

Maybe one day they'll have their own little victory, their little victory

A young girl dreams of being an actor escaping trailer park poverty

She'd like to take her shot in Hollywood, not working at the local grocery
