Something in this world's gonna humble you
It's gonna shake your heart, gonna get your attention
No matter who you are, before your life is through
There's a good chance something's gonna humble you

I take no pleasure in the pain of others
And I'm sure you've figured this much out by now
But there will be trouble in this life
I don't meant to alarm you
I just through I would remind you
Somebody's gotta warn you
Just when you think you've got it all together
Out of a clear blue sky, stormy weather
And the best laid plans of both mice and men
Can go tumblin' down
Never know where, never know when

But something in this world's gonna humble you
Gonna shake your heart, gonna get your attention
No matter who you are, before your life is through
There's a good chance something's gonna humble you

What are you countin' on to never, never leave you
Never betray you, never deceive you
Stocks and bonds, fast cars and land
Perfect kids, a big 'ole house, all this vanity, man
Well, God will not be mocked, make no mistake
You better humble yourself before it's too late
He might just tap you on the shoulder
Drop a pebble on your head
Or drop a boulder in your path
To stop you in your tracks cold

Lord, of the gallows of arrogance, help me beware
And if You need, slap my self-righteous nose from the air

Something in this world's gonna humble you
Gonna shake your heart, gonna get your attention, now
No matter who you are, before your life is through
There's a good chance something's gonna humble you

There's a real good chance
There's a real good chance, yeah
Something's gonna humble you
