PRIDE
That's pride you see in the boxer's eyes
Kneeling on the mat
He knows that he's been beaten
But he's not finished, yet
'Cause quittin's worse than spittin' blood
And livin' with the hurt
And every memory that he has is of the rising
From the dirt

Sometimes, pride is all you have
And that can be enough
'Cause pride will push you to the edge
And it will make you tough
Money buys the best of things
You will never know defeat
And you can watch that boxer
Safe there in your front row seat

CH: Rich boys go to college
Poor boys go to work
They sweat and toil their lives away
Never far above that dirt
Rich men live in gated homes
And they hide behind their walls
But they'll never know how sweet the pride
That goes before the fall

Pride goes before the fall, they say
And God will help the poor
But ask for proof of either one
And they'll be out the door
'Cause camels pass through needles' eyes
And rich men own the world
And poor men work themselves to death
Still believing in the Lord

repeat CH:

Pride goes before the fall
And God will surely help the poor
Rich men own the world
The poor don't even own the dirt
But quittin's worse than spittin' blood
And livin' with the hurt
And every memory that you have
Is of the rising from that dirt

Rich men live in gated homes
And they hide behind their walls
But they will never know how sweet the pride
That goes before the fall
