1. When we tear down another’s worth, It’s our own weakness we unearth. Appeals to man, disdain for God, A hollow path, a shallow fraud.

% Verse 2:
Em Dsus4 C G | Am7 E7 D B7 | Em D Cmaj7 Gadd9 | Am7 Em B7 Em
What’s valuable in me, I know, Is not from self, but grace bestowed. If my hands build, it’s not my own, But proof of seeds another’s sown.

The spider spins its fragile thread, From silken lies the fly has said. Each word a snare, each thought confined, A tangled trap of prideful mind.

% Verse 3:
Em Dsus4 C G | Am7 E7 D B7 | Em D Cmaj7 Gadd9 | Am7 Em B7 Em
The fly drifts toward decay, unwise, Its words a beacon for demise. The spider, stubborn, clings to lies, And in its web, it too will die.
% Bridge:
Cmaj7 Gadd9 Dsus4 Em | Am7 E7 D/F# B7 | Em D C G | Am7 Em B7 Em
Believe in good, though eyes may fail, For what we see is just the veil. The unseen shapes what will prevail, Truth is the wind that fills the sail.

Cmaj7 Gadd9 Dsus4 Em | Am7 D7 Gadd9 Em
If life were worthless, it wouldn’t rise, Nor stars be born to light the skies. But choice exists, and so does blame, And truth remains a steady flame.

Am7 E7 Dsus4 Em | Cmaj7 Gadd9 D/F# Em
May our words not seek decay, Nor prideful webs to lead astray. Let truth reshape, let wisdom guide, Beyond the traps of foolish pride.
