Little Victories - Lyrics - Darden Smith

Darden Smith is an Austin-based singer-songwriter known for his lyrics and for weaving folk and Americana influences with rock, pop, and the musical roots of his home state. His debut album, "Native Soil," was released in 1986. His fourteenth album, Love Calling, came out August 27, 2013. Over the past decade, Smith has developed two programs, The Be An Artist Program and SongwritingWith . Both use collaborative songwriting to work with groups ranging from children in the classroom to soldiers returning home from combat. Smith established SongwritingWith:Soldiers as a separate non-profit organization in 2012. In a recent presentation for TEDxAustin called "Fearing Your Gift," Darden Smith discusses what led him to these projects and how, going forward, creativity is central to everything he does.

All these little victories, yeah All these little victories, yeah Look at the angel high above the ground She must have burned her wings now, Afraid to come down And far below things are looking bad Lines got crossed and the world's gone mad Today I'm stuck in Texas, and I'm trying to reach L.A. All these little victories, yeah All these little victories, yeah Well it seems to me the older we get The more we see the more we forget The way history goes 'round and 'round It's kind of funny but Right now I don't feel like laughing out loud At all these little victories, yeah All these little victories, yeah We thought we'd come so far But we've yet to win the war Yet to win the war Well I wish that angel high in the air Would cry a God-almighty tear So from the Boardwalk out to Pasadena It would wash that whole damn city clean Well, OK, OK, OK, OK You see I'm stuck in Texas and I'm trying to reach L.A. All these little victories, yeah All these little victories, yeah All these little victories, yeah All these little victories, yeah All these little victories, yeah All these little victories, yeah
