Isn't pride wonderful,
Isn't pride grand,
Pride is the one thing in life
That no one can understand.
Pride is what makes us run away,
When our heart tells us stop,
Pride makes us quit talking,
Whether we want to or not.
And it's that sweet little pride,
That makes us turn away,
From the ones that we really love,
When we can't think of something to say.
So pick up your pride,
And hold it up high,
So it won't get hurt and it won't get sad,
But your heart, will surely die.
Alonzo Gene Tillery Sr.
