So Proud

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
