Foolish Pride

Don't show weakness, don't stand out
Don't run away, don't hide...
Don't ever prove yourself worthy

Of your foolish pride.

Don't hold your heart with conviction,

Or hold a hand with love;

Don't admit you need someone else-

Don't admit you need God above.

Don't show the world that you care,
Keep it all bottled up inside-
Make yourself your only witness,
As the world sees only foolish pride.

Don't hold your head in shame at defeat,

Or show when you're in pain

Only show the gaudy heat of the sun-

Not the coolness of the rain.
