Have you ever seen a man stumbled and fallen
All due to his pride
I don't want to be another one
Fallen due to my pride

Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away

Lord keep me only focused on You
Make me a humble man
Don't ever let me take the credit
For all that you have done

Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away

Standing here amidst this point of definition
Pushing for position as I battle opposition
Am I on a mission or is it all in vain
Do you notice the difference or is it all the same
And who do I blame when my vision gets blurry I
Get in a hurry frustrated and feeling fury
Faith is enduring to stand the test of time
Answers are plain we make them hard to define
But pull from divine when problems arise
But pride denies and my stand never survives
In every one of our lives in every single day
We need to lay down our pride as God takes it away

Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away
Pride away
Take my pride away

    I agree. This song speaks to me. Little things throughout the day and serious issues every now and then. This song kinda reminds me of what the Bible tells me to do.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
