Pride
Amy Macdonald Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Try to hold it back and I feel it even more
Sweat drips down my spine and my knees are weak
I can not move, I can not speak
But then you came and I held it together again
I managed to stumble through
Fifty thousand voices singing in the rain
'Cause I'd move mountains if you asked me to
I'd swim the seven seas
I'll be the one to hold your torch again
I'll do anything you ask of me
'Cause I'd move mountains if you asked me to
I'd swim the seven seas
I'll be the one to hold your torch again
I'll do anything you ask of me
I never knew how proud I would feel
Just standing in the rain.
These three words mean everything to me
And I'd sing it again and again.
'Cause I'd move mountains if you asked me to
I'd swim the seven seas
I'll be the one to hold your torch again
I'll do anything you ask of me
'Cause I'd move mountains if you asked me to
I'd swim the seven seas
I'll be the one to hold your torch again
I'll do anything you ask of me
Well the blue and the white of the flag shines bright
And it's blowing there for me.
With my hand on my heart, the honest truth
There's nowhere I'd rather be.
'Cause I'd move mountains if you asked me to
I'd swim the seven seas
I'll be the one to hold your torch again
I'll do anything you ask of me
'Cause I'd move mountains if you asked me to
I'd swim the seven seas
I'll be the one to hold your torch again
I'll do anything you ask of me

I never felt like this before
I haven't experienced this intense feeling before
Try to hold it back and I feel it even more
Trying to suppress the feeling only intensifies it
Sweat drips down my spine and my knees are weak
The feeling is so overwhelming that it causes physical symptoms
I can not move, I can not speak
The feeling is so strong it renders me immobilized
But then you came and I held it together again
You came and provided the support that helped me regain control
I managed to stumble through
With your help, I was able to navigate through my emotions
Fifty thousand voices singing in the rain
Despite the challenging circumstances, there was a sense of unity and solidarity
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
I am willing to go to great lengths to show my commitment and support
'Cause I'd move mountains if you asked me to
I am willing to do anything to show my loyalty and devotion
I'd swim the seven seas
I am willing to go to great lengths to prove my love and commitment
I'll be the one to hold your torch again
I will support you and be a guiding light
I'll do anything you ask of me
I am willing to do whatever it takes to support you
I never knew how proud I would feel
I had no idea how much pride I would experience
Just standing in the rain.
Even in the midst of adversity, I am proud to stand my ground
These three words mean everything to me
These three words hold immense significance to me
And I'd sing it again and again.
I will keep expressing my love and devotion repeatedly
Well, the blue and the white of the flag shines bright
The flag represents something important and meaningful
And it's blowing there for me.
It symbolizes my connection and devotion to something greater
With my hand on my heart, the honest truth
I am speaking from the depths of my heart and soul
There's nowhere I'd rather be.
I am exactly where I should be, and I am proud of it
