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, That's all I want it 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've 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 me as I am, Say you want me as I am, Say I'm someone in your eyes, That's all I want it 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 Mmm And trying to please you now, it's 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 Though you can't see it now Someday I'll make you proud
