Little Victories
Beccy Cole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do what they must just to survive
They never make the front page news
But heaven knows they pay their dues
You can see the Little Victories shining in their eyes
CH: They don't need fortune and they don't need fame
They are already winners if they're in the game
They get all they need from Little Victories
A single mothers' wage barely gets them through
But they do all the things other families do
And the man that's 84 years old
Who learned to cook when his wife passed on
Discovering things inside they never knew
CH They don't need fortune and they don't fame
They're already winners if they're in the game
They don't need our pity or our Sympathy
They get all they need from Little Victories
They're in you, they're in me
They're the only of the bundle little victories
Chorus twice

The chorus highlights the idea that these everyday heroes don't need fortune or fame to feel like winners in life. Being in the game, working hard and achieving Little Victories, is enough for them. They don't seek the pity or sympathy of others because they are already content with what they have accomplished. In this way, the Little Victories become their own rewards, bringing them peace and satisfaction in life.
Overall, Beccy Cole's song is a heartfelt tribute to the unsung heroes that make up our communities. Through their resilience and determination to survive in the face of adversity, they inspire us all to persevere and never give up on our dreams.
