[00:00.00]The White Stripes - Little Acorns
[00:00.29]
[00:00.49]"When problems overwhelm us
[00:02.09]and sadness smothers us,
[00:03.79]Where do we find the will
[00:05.09]and the courage
[00:05.98]to countinue?
[00:06.71]
[00:07.56]Well the answer may come
[00:08.49]in the caring voice of a friend
[00:10.45]A chance encounter with a book
[00:12.63]or from a personal faith.
[00:14.10]
[00:15.03]For Janet, help came from her faith
[00:17.31]But it also came from a squirrel.
[00:18.99]
[00:19.86]Shortly after her divorce
[00:21.01]Janet lost her father
[00:22.53]Then she lost her job
[00:24.29]She had mounting money problems
[00:26.58]But Janet not only survived
[00:28.19]She worked her way out of dispondency
[00:30.22]And now she says
[00:31.11]Life is good again.
[00:32.50]
[00:32.83]How could this happen?
[00:34.46]She told me that late
[00:35.79]One autumn day
[00:36.89]When she was at her lowest,
[00:38.71]She watched a squirrel
[00:39.85]Storing up nuts for the winter
[00:41.91]One at a time
[00:42.80]He would take them to the nest
[00:44.85]And she thought if that squirrel
[00:46.46]Can take care of himself
[00:47.99]With the harsh winter coming on so can I.
[00:50.76]
[00:51.34]Once I broke my problems into small pieces
[00:53.73]I was able to carry them,
[00:55.52]Just like those acorns,
[00:57.01]One at a time"
[00:57.94]
[01:34.99]Take all your problems
[01:36.86]And rip 'em apart
[01:38.86]
[01:43.15]Carry them off
[01:44.55]In a shopping cart
[01:47.03]
[01:51.43]And another thing
[01:52.47]You should've known from the start
[01:55.43]
[01:59.60]The problems in hand
[02:01.25]Are lighter than at heart
[02:03.97]
[02:54.07]Be like the squirrel, girl
[02:56.08]Be like the squirrel
[02:58.38]
[03:02.44]Give it a whirl, girl
[03:04.59]Be like the squirrel
[03:06.47]
[03:10.59]And another thing have to know
[03:13.30]In this world
[03:14.95]
[03:19.05]Cut up your hair
[03:21.03]Straighten your curls
[03:23.45]Well, your problems hide in your curls
[03:27.54]
[03:49.01]
[04:07.75]END
