Pride – The Temperance Movement

Did you hear when I called you
Small and trembling in my ruin
Or were you cold as I once told you you could be
Could you feel when I dreamed you
Every morning on the rise
Dispelling thought ’til you were all that I could see
And I’ve been running from the source so long
Broke down easy where I once was strong
I was only getting in the way
Of the light that blinds you
If you can’t take it
Tell about your reasons now
Cos we’ve got nothing to hide

All my pride
All my pride would never let me say
All my pride
All my pride would see you walk away
I was waiting on a higher call
But the revelation never came
Oh what a shame
All the same
I hope that everything you ever wanted
Comes to you some day
But all my pride would never let me say

Saw the sign at the border
For the road to lead me to
The only hope I ever had the only home I knew
Felt like I was a soldier
Forever changed by all I’ve seen
Wounded in a holy war that was nothing to do with me
And some nights amid my broken sleep
In times of weakness steal a little peek
Forbidden memories when I gave to you
When you stripped me open
In tender moments
Tell me about your reasons now
Cos we got nothing to hide

All my pride
All my pride would never let me say
All my pride
All my pride would see you walk away
I was waiting on a higher call
But the revelation never came
Oh what a shame
All the same
I hope that everything you ever wanted
Comes to you some day
But all my pride would never let me say

All my pride
All my pride would never let me say
All my pride
All my pride would see you walk away
I was waiting on a higher call
But the revelation never came
Oh what a shame
All the same
I hope that everything you ever wanted
Comes to you some day
But all my pride would never let me say
