[Verse 1]
They're lightin' fires to dim your light
Saying, "Don't you go and fly too high"
But everybody needs a bullet to fight
Teach you how to stand up right

[Pre-Chorus]
Put my trust in the way I'm feelin'
Don't say nothin' unless you truly mean it

[Chorus]
Hang on to your pride
Right now, no one's on your side
But if you give it a little time
They'll be saying, "You were right," yeah

[Verse 2]
I don't mind if you don't believe me
Nothin' worth doin' is easy
I know it's hard to keep on keepin'
When they tell you you're just dreamin'

[Pre-Chorus]
Put my trust in the way I'm feelin'
Don't say nothin' unless you truly mean it
[Chorus]
Hang on to your pride
Right now, no one's on your side
But if you give it a little time
They'll be saying, "You were right"
Hang on to your pride
Right now, no one's on your side
But if you give it a little time
They'll be saying, "You were right"
Hang on to your pride
They'll be saying, "You were right"

[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
