Something’s Gonna Humble You

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
