About This Track

'Pride' by Cher is a 2013 track from 'Closer To the Truth (Deluxe Version)'. The lyrics paint a hedonistic, high-voltage rush, with partying and dancing set against a backdrop of looming catastrophe. The voice swings between living in the moment and bracing for the end of time, insisting on the urgency of shining while a romantic, combustible desire runs underneath it all. One early line sums up the stance, “We’re livin’ it up”, and the song keeps returning to that bright fatalism, love as fuel and pride as the match.

"Pride" is a track by Cher, from the album Closer To the Truth (Deluxe Version), released 2013. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Pride

[Verse 1]

Livin' it up, livin' it up

We're livin' it up while the world is catching fire

Dancing in the flames

Feelin' in love, feelin' in love

We're feelin' in love and we're burning with desire

And waiting out of space

[Pre-Chorus]

And if it was our last chance to shine

I know that we could make it alright

We're gonna put it all on the line

Every time

[Chorus]

We got pride

We own, we own the night

We are, we are the light

This is once in your life

And we won't stop now, give up a sign

Yeah, we won't stop now, this is our time

Pride

We own, we own the night

We got pride

[Verse 2]

Giving it up, giving it up

Giving it up In the hail of broken chains

Raining down for days

Never enough, never enough

'Cause never enough when your always chasing dreams

We can still believe

[Pre-Hook]

And if it was our last chance to shine

I know that we could make it this time

We're gonna put it on on the line

Oh, and every time

[Chorus]

We got pride

We own, we own the night

We are, we are the light

This is once in your life

And we won't stop now, give up a sign

Yeah, we won't stop now, this is our time

Pride

We own, we own the night

We got pride

[Bridge]

Whoa, oh oh oh oh oh oh

Whoa, oh oh oh oh oh oh

Whoa, oh oh oh oh oh oh

[Chorus]

We got pride

We own, we own the night

We are, we are the light

This is once in your life

And we won't stop now, give up a sign

Yeah, we won't stop now, this is our time

Pride

We own, we own the night

We got pride

We own, we own the night

We are, we are the light

This is once in your life

And we won't stop now, give up a sign

Yeah, we won't stop now, this is our time

Pride

We own, we own the night

We got pride
