Sidewalk Prophets' song 'The Humble Kind' challenges the common belief that humility is weakness, instead presenting it as true strength. The lyrics contrast a world of division and self-righteousness with a better way of listening, learning, and loving without burning bridges. The singer expresses a desire to die to self and leave a legacy of humility, echoing Jesus' beatitude about the meek inheriting the earth. The song encourages believers to embrace the narrow road of servanthood, suggesting that such quiet love ultimately changes everything.

Pick a side, pick a fight
Throw a stone, draw the lines
Heroes, villains, black and white
You're always wrong, I'm always right
We just disagree to disagree
But where's the place in between
Where it's ok to wash your feet?
Where no bridges need to burn
Where I just listen and I learn
That sounds like a place I'd like to be
If there's a kingdom that should fall let it be mine
If there's heart that needs to die to self
Maybe it's my time
If my life leaves a legacy behind
Let it be the humble kind
Seems to me most folks think
Being humble makes you weak
Like you've lost the strength to stand
You're less a woman less a man
You're no use when pushing comes to shove
But the strongest ones I know
Take the harder, narrow road
You may never know their names
No awards or accolades
But the world is better for the way they love
If there's a kingdom that should fall let it be mine
If there's heart that needs to die to self
Maybe it's my time
If my life leaves a legacy behind
Let it be the humble kind (oh)
Blessed are the humble
With courage seldom seen
Who never raise a fist
But end up changing everything
If there's a kingdom that should fall let it be mine
If there's heart that needs to die to self
Maybe it's my time
If my life leaves a legacy behind
Yeah if my life leaves a legacy behind
Let it be the humble kind
Let it be the humble kind
