Little boy, little girl
God is on your side, alright

It's good that she knew him
For without her by his side he would have fled
He sees objects
That are ever small but so large in his eyes

He has a thing
About what people think of him
It seems so bad
It's not so hard, little boy

How could you be wrong, little girl?

Follow, follow the yellow brick road
Until you come on to the rock of peace
Pick up your notion to find the harvest of life
To heal your wounds

He'll find you peace, little boy
He will protect you, little girl
He'll never leave you, little ones

Little ones
Very little ones

So this story goes
On into a high dimensions
Where for you
He'll find you peace, little onesLyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Little Ones Lyrics

Little boy, little girl
God is on your side
He is your healer
God is on your side

Yes, he knew her
'Cause she told him things that man had done to her
So he figured
That she's reluctant to tell her folks the truth

She was afraid
To tell mother of such things
'Cause she would say
"You know you're wrong, little girl"

Little boy, little girl
God is on your side, alright

It's good that she knew him
For without her by his side he would have fled
He sees objects
That are ever small but so large in his eyes

He has a thing
About what people think of him
It seems so bad
It's not so hard, little boy

How could you be wrong, little girl?

Follow, follow the yellow brick road
Until you come on to the rock of peace
Pick up your notion to find the harvest of life
To heal your wounds

He'll find you peace, little boy
He will protect you, little girl
He'll never leave you, little ones

Little ones
Very little ones

So this story goes
On into a high dimensions
Where for you
He'll find you peace, little ones

Antonio "Tony Rich" Jeffries was born in 1971 in Detroit, Michigan. With a diverse music style that is often confused with Babyface, Tony Rich mixes elements of jazz, rock and soul into his tracks.

Tony Rich got his start in the music industry as a staff writer at LaFace Records. While there, Rich penned hits for Boyz II Men, Johnny Gill, TLC and Toni Braxton.

While living in Detroit, Rich started playing in jazz fusion and soul bands and worked with local Detroit songwriters. It was at this time that John Salley, Detroit Pistons player and record producer, encouraged Rich to work with his artists and to even make his own tracks.

Meeting with R&B singer Pebbles, Tony Rich was introduced to her then-husband L.A. Reid. As co-founder of LaFace Records, Reid convinced Rich to move to Atlanta and to begin writing and producing for established acts. One of Rich's first projects was a session with Elton John and Sounds of Blackness for a Curtis Mayfield tribute LP. He then expanded his portfolio to include work with the previously mentioned stars.

In early 1996, Rich made his solo debut with the cd Words and the hit single Nobody Knows, which made it to number 2 on the top 100. Both the album and single went platinum and in 1997, Tony Rich won the Grammy for Best Male R&B album. The album featured two Grammy-nominated singles, Like A Woman and Nobody Knows.

The album was followed up in 1998 by Birdseye which, while critically praised, failed to generate much commercial success. Rich seemingly disappeared from the music world for several years after his album's release.

In 2003, Rich came back on the scene with the album Resurrected. Carrying a very different style this time around, the album featured Rich rocking out on the guitar as well as singing smooth ballads.

In 2006, Rich released a fourth album, Pictures. The album contains snapshots of a relationship, and is far more in the veins of his earlier works.

In 2008, he released his fifth album, Exist through Hidden Beach Recordings. Originally it was set for release on September 16, however it was pushed back to September 23, 2008. The album features download-only single, Part the Waves. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
