Pride

I walk on out and let the water weigh me down to my waist

and let my roots have a drink, let the rain wash my eyes

Maybe when I open them things will have changed, things

will have changed

Still

I am not a mountain, I am not an island

I am not a hero, I'm not even a saint

Now that this confession's out, let me just lie here

I'll have to find my own resolve someday, someday

I walk on out and catch a beam in my hair, while the

breeze

blows away my fears, now I don't care

If my legs don't hold me up, I'll pretend to be a tree

that only smiles, that only smiles

Still

I am not a mountain, I am not an island

I am not a hero, I'm not even a saint

Now that this confession's out, let me just lie here

I'll have to find my own resolve someday, someday
