Do people pride on success or being praised?
Or is their self-image overly crazed?
Having gained gold and silver, cars and houses, husband or wife
Of which they're proud, even more if their children are rife
Glory from success are ephemeral
Will you suffer through a long withdrawal?
Have you not heard, "Haughty spirit goes before a fall?"
Then you're in the saddest and gloomiest state of all
Love abases all hauteur, sweeter than fulfillment from pride
Love is yond worldwide
Let your heart towards pride be aloof
Or else the proverb on you shall be proof
What about livelihood? It's okay to achieve
Or being blessed? With humility do receive
Just don't let pride become stronger
True love abases hauteur
Pride shows interest only in the self
Let us endeavor to put pride on the shelf
Pride looks for faults of others to comfort its own vice
Neglecting to see the great beam that rests in his own eyes
Love vaunts not and owns no arrogance
Cares for all with such great benevolence
Adjure your ego now and let your humble poise shine
No longer for vain splendor or grandeur you'll ever pine
Adjure your ego now and let your humble poise shine
No longer for vain glory or praises you'll ever pine
Be as you are, of yourself not afraid
You were perfectly made
