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'm
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 cant you say you love me as I'm
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

Ooh
One day I'll make you proud
Mmmmmmmm

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
If though you can't see it now
Some day I'll make you proud
