So Proud Lyrics

I remember church one Sunday morning
I remember everyone that was there
I got up to sing my song
and the first note came out wrong
But You still shouted
'Cause You were so proud
I remember sharing my hope and my plans
And there were some people who didn't understand
But you put your faith in my dream
Betting all you had on me
You never doubted
'Cause you were so proud
We never had all finest things
But what we had was enough
There were so many reasons to keep believing
That we should be so proud

Now I remember hearing you leave before dawn
Then coming home when the street lights came on
Staying up late at night
Trying to pay the bills it was tight
But you kept on cause you were so proud
And now I am a man
I finally understand
How to bow down and still stay proud
We may have no finest things
But what we have is enough
There are so many reasons to keep believing
That we should be so proud
Even on our bad days
When we make some mistakes
And we feel like giving up
I stop to remember all the people
Who never gave up on me
They were to proud
And wanted me to see that
We may have no finest things
But what we have is enough
There are so many reasons to keep believing
and working and watching how God makes a way
And then living and laughing and loving everyday
And doing our best
Expecting nothing less
Because we will always be
So proud
So proud
So proud
So proud
So proud
