Written for the project Songs from my soul a stage play and musical works inspired by being, becoming and belonging

lyrics

V1.

Ain’t nothing wrong in being humble?
Happy and contented on the side
Lights are always shining on somebody
When the spot comes round…– we hide our eyes

V2.

Ain’t nothing wrong in being humble?
Quiet joy in life’s abundant rays
Lift your eyes and raise your hand squarely
Or sit and watch – somebody take your raise

Chor

A shame, a flush with any passing praise
A shame, a flush that passes on but stays

V3.

I see you try to claim that prize but rarely
When half a smile of joy or pride appears
That rush of shame arrives, so unfairly
Self-love’s abashed - and disappears

Chor

A shame, a flush with any passing praise
[just happy being humble]
A shame, a flush that passes on but stays
[just happy being humble]

As you reach the ending of your story
Tell the children gathered at your knee
If you don’t celebrate our own glory
A life half lived is your only guarantee

Just Happy being humble
Just Happy being humble
