CHORUS: 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 that 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 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 come stormy weather And the best laid plans of both mice and men Can go tumblin' down, you never know where, never know when
CHORUS
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 the 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 let me beware And if You need, slap my self-righteous nose from the air
