<b>pride</b> by <i>Marjan Debaene</i><br />You sit there on the sidewalk, holding a plastic cup in your hand

People who walk by talk, turn away their face

from your begging hand

But you don’t mind, you’ve been getting used to that

You try to find yourself a job, but everywhere you go

they need a resumée

You say you can deliver hard work but everywhere the door is slammed in your face

But you don’t mind you’ve been getting used to that

But sometimes it’s hard, sometimes it’s hard,

you just want to give up, You’ve got nothing left but your pride

It’s winter in the city and you need new shoes

to keep your feet from freezing

Surrounded by pity, but noone reaches out a helping hand to you

But you don’t mind you’ve been getting used to that

And you promised yourself you were gonna make it

You won’t let them get the upperhand

And you’re struggling against giants

But you won’t let them take you down,

Y ou won’t let them make you fall,

You won’t let them break your pride…

Pride…hey…

You’re sitting on the sidewalk, holding a plastic cup in your hand,

Somebody throws in a silver coin and you wonder how to get it out

Without getting your hands wet…

But you don’t mind, you’ve been getting used to more than that
