Pride of the Ordinary

Pride of the Ordinary

Before a fall is pride.

Yet I have pride to be,

Me and, an ordinary guy.

What riches give,

This sense of worth ?

A meal to eat,

Friends to share a laugh,

Neighbours who polite would be.

Making the ends meet,

Rewards the humble soul,

Sharing even more.

For we, the poor

The lowly working man,

Are proud to be, free.
