private victories

you can't see it
but today I'm a winner
no longer a beginner
to the sunny side of life
I can't tell you
'cause you don't need to understand it
joy's in high demand and
I can't believe my eyes

          it's these private victories
          that pull me through
          little bits of something
          that would mean nothing to you
          I'd like to share them
          but that's something I can't do
          with these private victories
          and what they add up to
