Proud, live

     

Lyrics:

All of my life I have watched you climbing mountains, chasing dreams

All of my life you gave me everything, but you don’t have to give the world to me



Just say you love me as I am, say you want me as I am

Say I’m someone in your eyes it’s all I wanted to be

Oh just let me go I know, one day, if I’m allowed, if I’m allowed one day I’ll make you proud



All of your life you’ve taken chances, you broke the rules time after time

All of your life you’ve gone your own way so give me this chance and I’ll go mine



Why can’t you say you love as I am, say you want me as I am

Say I’m someone in your eyes it’s all I wanted to be

Oh just let me go I know, one day, if I’m allowed, if I’m allowed one day I’ll make you proud

Oh one day I’ll make you proud



And trying to please you now is all I seem to do

I’m holding my dreams down, it’s breaking me in two

I’ve got to be me now

Cause there’s already one of you

I’m on my knees so help me please

Please don’t shoot me down cause

Though you can’t see it someday I’ll make you proud
