One Little Victory
Rush · Other Songs - Rush
Willing to appear naive
A certain degree of imagination
A measure of make belive
A certain degree of surrender
To the forces of light and heat
A shot of satisfaction
In a willingness to risk defeat
Celebrate the moment
As it turns into one more
Another chance at victory
Another chance to score
The measure of the movment
Is a difference of degree
Just One Little Victory
A spirit breaking free
The greatest act can be
One Little Victory
A certain measure of righteousness
A certain amount of force
A certain degree of determination
Daring on different course
A certain amount of resistance
To the forces of life and love
A certain measure of tolerance
A willing to rise above
One Little Victory
One Little Victory
