Lyrics for Little Man
Sure as fire will burn There's one thing you will learn Those things you have cherished Are things that you have earned Luck is when opportunity Meets with preparation And the same is true for every generation Little man As you climb upon my knee The whole future lies in thee Little man Little man Never hurry, take it slow Things worth while need time to grow Little man Don't look back There are things that might distract Move ahead towards your goal And the answers will unfold Little man Love is always in the air It is there for those who care Little man Don't look back There are things that might distract Move ahead towards your goal And the answers will unfold Little man Love is always in the air It is there for those who care Little man Little man Little man Little man
