Proud

Hmm, hmm Tired of hurt, only ten All she wants is to fit in Only worse, older she gets Just fourteen, and Every time she tried to open up, they tore it down Didn't think she'd ever be enough someday I hope when she gets older She holds onto her dreams 'Cause the pain don't last forever, oh, I know If she could only see what I can see right now She would be so proud (Hmm, hmm) She would be so proud (Hmm, hmm) Heavy heart, tear-stained sheets Chased a dream, only sixteen Left her out, called her names Never changed, but Every time she reached up for the stars, they pulled her down Made her doubt she'd ever get so far, just wait I hope when she gets older She holds onto her dreams 'Cause the pain don't last forever, oh, I know If she could only see what I can see right now She would be so proud (Hmm, hmm) She would be so proud (Hmm, hmm) She would be so proud La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la-la La-la-la, la-la Oh, now that I am older And living out my dreams All the pain was worth it in the end somehow If she could only see what I can see right now She would be so proud (Hmm, hmm) She would be so proud (Hmm, hmm) She would be so proud
