The Pride

(album: The Magnificent Seventh - 2005)

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
