Proud |
| As far back as my brain will let me travel |
| I remember my grandma telling me, |
| «Todrick, there are three things in life you can’t escape: death, |
| taxes and Sunday school.» |
| Well, turns out she was right! |
| Come rain or shine, I was there every single Sunday morning service |
| And since all my grandma’s other eleven grandsons took to playing sports and |
| chasing women |
| They left all the singing to me |
| When I reach those gates |
| When I see your face |
| I hope you’re proud of me |
| I hope you’re proud |
| Cause I’m spending all my days |
| Trying to find a way |
| To make you proud of me |
| To make you proud |
| Cause I just wanna be a |
| Soldier in your army |
| I’m all yours if you want me |
| Take my hand and just call me |
| Call me yours |
| Soldier in your army |
| I’m all yours if you want me |
| Take my hand and just call me |
| Call me yours |
| I probably sang those songs a million times growing up, |
| But they always felt so good to me |
| So much soul went into the lyrics and the melody |
| You couldn’t help but stomp and clap when you heard 'em |
| I didn’t always know exactly what I was singing about, |
| All I know is I felt something in those songs I couldn’t explain |
| When I stand before your throne |
| When you call me home |
| I hope you’re proud of me |
| I hope you’re proud |
| Cause I know it won’t be long |
| I’m fighting hard and strong |
| To make you proud of me |
| To make you proud |
| Cause I just wanna be a |
| Soldier in your army (yeah) |
| I’m all yours if you want me (I'm all yours) |
| Take my hand and just call me |
| Call me yours |
| Soldier in your army (Soldier in your army) |
| I’m all yours if you want me (I'm all yours) |
| Take my hand and just call me |
| Call me yours |
| Now I was always different, |
| And in the small town of Plainview, Texas where I’m from |
| People like to let you know just how different they thought you were |
| They called me 'weird', 'punk', 'faggot', 'sissy' |
| But my mama just called me 'special' |
| I don’t remember much from my childhood |
| But one moment I do remember vividly, partially because it changed my life, |
| But mostly because I don’t have that many moments with my father to remember |
