Little Things

Your first breath

Your first pain

Your first tears

Your first year

Your first smile

Your first word

Your first step

Whatever's next

Your first school

Your first crush

Your first kiss

Consider this

It's not just happenstance

Or force of circumstance

God bless the little things

That make the bigger things

God bless the little things

That make the bigger things

Your first love

Your first lover

Your first time

Was like no other

Your first fight

Your first heartache

Your first regret

You can't forget

Your first bar

Your first drink

Your best friend

The bathroom sink

It's not just happenstance

Or force of circumstance

God bless the little things

That make the bigger things

God bless the little things

That make the bigger things

Your first flat

Your first debt

Your first taste

Of the worst case

Your first job

Your first boss

Your first paycheck

Now let's get wrecked

Your first house

Your first car

Your first child

And that's the story so far

It's not just happenstance

Or force of circumstance

God bless the little things

That make the bigger things

God bless the little things

That make the bigger things
