Proud Father Lyrics


There will be crying,
being the man that you should.
But, always be trying,
to see all the bad and the good.
And yours is a promising future,
but, know if it all were to fade.
But a proud father of me
you have already made.
And I'll try to be,
all of the answers that you'd ever need.
And I'll try to show,
All of the love that you need to know.
May the sparks in your eyes,
Outlive the lines on your face.
Hold on to the moments in time,
when you and I share the same space.

And thoughts of you hurt me,
but I know the feeling of wrong.
'Cause there are lessons to learn,
in all of the places I've gone.
And I'll try to be,
all of the answers you'd ever need.
And I'll try to show,
All of the love that you need to know.
So hold on to someone,
who'll love you through the hot,
and the cold.
And hold on to someone,
who'll love you,
no matter what they know.
Just hold on to someone,
who'll love you when your hot,
and when your cold.
And hold on to someone,
who'll love you,
no matter who they know.
Open your mind,
So colors of skill you embrace.
And open your eyes,
to harmony coming of age.
It won't always be easy to love,
when you give and you never get back.
But, no one's intended to die,
with their heart still intact.
And I'll try to be,
all of the answers that you'd ever need.
And I'll try to show,
All of the love that you need to know.
So take time to be still and to know,
that all of the world that you'll face.
That a proud father of me,
you have already made

Not to be confused with the jazz-rock guitarist John McLaughlin (of Mahavishnu Orchestra fame), Jon McLaughlin (born September 27, 1982) is a piano-playing pop/rock singer-songwriter from Anderson, Indiana. His debut album Indiana was released on May 1, 2007, preceded by his first EP Industry, also known as Jon McL, in February, 2007. In 2008, McLaughlin returned with lead single "Beating My Heart", which is available on iTunes. The song is a part of his previous album called OK Now, confirmed on his official site. OK Now was released on October 7th, 2008. He gained fame with his cameo appearance in Disney's Enchanted. Released in early September 2011 in the US, Forever If Ever is Jon's 3rd major label release and his newest album to date. It could previously be downloaded on Amazon's website and the compact disc bought at his personal website. However, seeing as the album will have a re-release with additional tracks and a new name "Promising Promises", the first release has been ultimately shelved. Only the lucky early buyers have a hold of these songs until they are re-released in May 2012. The lead single preceeding the album is "Summer Is Over" featuring the singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles. It was released in late January 2012.

Playing piano since early childhood, Jon McLaughlin grew up in Anderson, Indiana. He didn't want to take piano lessons anymore and was always finding ways to get out of doing so. While attending Highland High School, McLaughlin shattered both wrists in an accident that interrupted his musical expression. Rediscovering "his muse," McLaughlin attended Anderson University to study music. He released an independent album entitled, Up Until Now in 2003. This quickly led to McLaughlin becoming the first artist to sign on with the school's burgeoning, if not local, record label, Orangehaus Records. The self-titled album released in 2004 to local and regional praise. He began touring, traveling throughout the Midwest and working up a grassroots following.
