Little Things
Discovering Life's Resilience Through Simple Joys
Lyrics
I was standing in the kitchen doing the dishes we left from the night before
I was engaged in mundane tasks, cleaning up after the previous night in the kitchen.
Then she walked in with a gap toothed grin, roaring like a dinosaur
She entered with a distinctive smile, full of energy, resembling a dinosaur's roar.
I've spent my whole life with one foot out of the door
Throughout my life, I've kept one foot ready to leave or escape.
It finally took putting down what I was working on
I realized the need to pause my current work to understand its purpose.
To see what I was working for
Taking a break allowed me to recognize the significance of my efforts.
It's the little things that get me through to tomorrow
Small, meaningful moments are essential for my resilience and hope for the future.
It's the little things that keep my in the fight
These little things are what motivate me to keep going and stay in the struggle.
It's coffee in the morning
The routine of having coffee in the morning is one of these comforting small things.
It's singing her to sleep each night
Singing her to sleep each night is another precious and reassuring routine.
It's the little things that let me know everything's gonna be alright
These little things serve as indicators that everything will be okay.
I was patiently waiting, anticipating to get back out on the road
I was patiently waiting, eagerly looking forward to returning to life on the road.
Trying to be smart and play my part, shoulder my share of the load
Trying to be wise and fulfill my responsibilities, carrying my share of the burden.
I used to be a singer with a family back home
Previously, I was a singer balancing a career with a family back home.
Now I'm just a father and a husband, who knows his way around a microphone
Now, I am primarily a father and a husband, though still familiar with performing on stage.
Last year nearly broke us
The challenges of the past year almost caused our downfall.
Time slipped by like a ghost
Time passed quickly and silently, like a ghost.
But it allowed me to focus on the things that matter most
Despite the difficulties, it provided an opportunity to focus on what truly matters.
