Proud

Proud
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 am 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 cant you 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 am allowed,
One day I'll make you proud.
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,
Although you can't see it now,
Someday I'll make you proud.
