The Pride

You're dealt the hand of the little man

Running marathons against the wind

Underdog in the lions den

You feel them closing in

Nobody wants another mouth to feed

And no-one's gonna give it up

Break your back swimming upstream

You could do with a little luck

It's the pride that keeps you fighting

When you're stumbling underneath the weight

When you're dying inside but you can't show the other side

It's the pride that keeps you safe

Sometimes when it's all a mess

You wonder what you're doing wrong

Cos you can't change your horse midstream

Too late to sing another song

Bite your lip, take some medicine

Visualize a better day

Cos what's another mountain in the way?

It's the pride that burns inside you

Says you ain't lost nothing till it's gone

It's the pride that keeps you striving

When you can't go on

It's the pride that burns inside you

Says you ain't lost nothing till it's gone

It's the pride gonna keep you trying

All night long, all night long

It's the pride that keeps you striving

When you can't go on

When l hope is gone
