Sung by Kathleen about and to her daughter Sarah who feels defeated because she is so small.

KATHLEEN
Little things, you say they don’t matter
Little acts of kindness, simple smiles, a cheerful word of two
But I say you are wrong, little things are treasures
Diamonds are little things, babies are tiny, but they will do
So when you tell me you are feeling small, that you don’t count at all
Let me stop you then and there
And if no one understands unless every gesture is grand
And if you thinks it’s rare to find someone who cares about
The little things
Then let me be a mirror
Let my words reflect you, let me show you how you look to me
And if then when I do, still you don’t believe me
Then I’ll think of something new, I’ll keep trying to break through
I’ll keep saying and doing little things, ‘til I can show you…you
Little things, you say that they bore you
That people will ignore you if you don’t do great heroic deeds
But I say think again, little can be thrilling
Pouring in and filling little corners of our great big needs
When the giant sun has scorched the plain
Little drops of rain fall to earth so quietly
Nourishing the land, that is made of small grains of sand
It seems clear to me that everything we see is made of
Little things, under and above you, and how I love to see
What little things have mad in you
And until I’m sure that you really hear me
I’ll try everything and then, I will try it all again
Hopefully someday I’ll help you see the beauty in
Little things
So when you tell me you are feeling small, that you don’t count at all
Let me stop you then and there
And if no one understands unless every gesture is grand
And if you thinks it’s rare to find someone who cares about
The little things
Then let me be a mirror
Let my words reflect you, let me show you how you look to me
And if then when I do, still you don’t believe me
Then I’ll think of something new, I’ll keep trying to break through
I’ll keep saying and doing little things, ‘til I can show you…
