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
