[Verse]
I used to think I had it figured
Used to think I knew it all
Talked more than I listened
Missed the wisdom in it all
Then I met a quiet man
Who never raised his voice
He taught me more by sayin’ less
It wasn’t really a choice
[Chorus]
Humbleness, humbleness
Opens up the door
Humbleness, humbleness
Makes you want to learn some more
The less you think you know
The more you get to see
Humbleness, humbleness
Set my whole mind free
[Verse]
I stopped tryin’ to be the smartest
Stopped needin’ to be right
Started askin’ better questions
Started sleepin’ better nights
Funny how the wisest people
Are the ones who say the least
They ain’t got nothin’ left to prove
They just got room to receive
[Chorus]
Humbleness, humbleness
Opens up the door
Humbleness, humbleness
Makes you want to learn some more
The less you think you know
The more you get to see
Humbleness, humbleness
Set my whole mind free
[Bridge]
It ain’t about bein’ small
It ain’t about bein’ less
It’s just leavin’ room to listen
It’s just leavin’ room to guess
That maybe you don’t know it all
And maybe that’s alright
That’s when the learnin’ really starts
That’s when you see the light
[Chorus]
Humbleness, humbleness
Opens up the door
Humbleness, humbleness
Makes you want to learn some more
The less you think you know
The more you get to see
Humbleness, humbleness…
Set my whole mind free
