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
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
