It's hard to bury pride.
Lyrics
Ego Of The Man
Patricia Baker, BMI/Larry LauerÓ2005
I was reading the Bible late into the night
Hoping God would show me a sign
Searchin’ for answers the way that men do
Found faith stronger than I ever knew
Years of hard drinkin’, livin’ in sin
Cheatin’ the odds, that I knew I couldn’t win
You only knew who I used to be
Till the good Lord took you away from me
Alongside you I buried my pride
That I should’ve let go
While you were alive
It just wasn’t easy to say goodbye
To the ego of the man burning inside
Wasted our years never measuring up
To your ever sweet unconditional love
Wish I’d been more of a comfort to you
God has His way of humbling a fool
I’ll love you until the day that I die
Hold you close in my dreams late at night
I’ll be that man that I should’ve been
On the day we are together again
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
It not with vanity that a man makes his mark
It’s the shame he’s able to feel in his heart
Repeat Chorus
