Proud Lyrics

VERSE 1

I never thought that I would see my daddy cry

Mom is still holding my bags as she wraps her arm around me tight

We’re dreading the moment

Son, you will be fine

Make sure you show them

How bright you can shine

Last call for boarding I keep turning back to get one last goodbye

CHORUS

I hope that you’re proud

I hope that you’re proud

Cuz I gave it my all

But I’m not where I promised

I would be by now

I hope that you’re proud

I hope that you’re proud

Cuz the last thing I wanted to do when I left

was letting you down

VERSE 2

Things seems so slow and before you know ten years go by

I missed so many birthdays because of some stupid plane tickets I couldn’t buy

Son, how are you doing?

I’m doing just fine

What happened to that deal

you were ‘bout to sign?

dad don’t you worry, I’m sure something better will come up next time

CHORUS

I hope that you’re proud

I hope that you’re proud

Cuz I gave it my all

But I’m not where I promised

I would be by now

I hope that you’re proud

I hope that you’re proud

Cuz the last thing I wanted to do when I left

was letting you down

It was letting you down

I never meant to let you down, no

I hope that you’re proud

I hope that you’re proud

Cuz the last thing I wanted to do when I left

was letting you down
