Notes

Martin Gore told Billboard:

"I wrote ['Little Soul' and 'Peace'] back to back, and the flow of the album started to make more sense. I really felt they had a spirituality to them. That somehow set a cornerstone for the rest of the writing."

In one of the Sounds Of The Universe documentaries, a whiteboard can be seen with a list of the working titles of the songs: this song was originally called 'Footprint'. Dave Gahan confirms that in this interview.

Lyrics


Little Soul

My little light

Is going to shine

Shine out so bright

And illuminate your mind

My little soul will leave a footprint


This little voice

Is going to sing

I have no choice

It will infinitely ring

My little soul will leave a footprint


I'm channelling the universe

That's focusing itself

Inside of me

A singularity


My little words

Are going to sting

Haven't you heard

The pain and joy they bring

My little soul will leave a footprint


I'm channelling the universe

That's focusing itself

Inside of me

A singularity


Your little eyes

They're going to see

I can't disguise

The beauty inside me

My little soul will leave a footprint
