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 |
