Proud Lyrics

Well i've been brave, and i have been
there for my friends, i've been
Enslaved by stupid s*** that should have
surely ment my end, prior convictions,
while they still give me no reprieve, i still
try not to contradict things i've believed...
And sometimes when i wake, the morning
light, shows me the things that i've done
right tells me i'll make it throuh the day,
tells me i'll make it through the night

So if my dad could see me now would he
be proud, that i've become the man i am,
that i don't do just what's allowed, that i
mean every word i say to every face that's
in this crowd, so if you're listening,
i'll play it loud...
And i've lashed out just like an animal in
pain, and i've looked everywhere but me to
point the blame, and i've been selfish, and
motivated by my fears, and so impossible to
deal with through the years...

And sometimes when i hear that sad old
song, it brings me right back to my wrongs,
it brings me right back to despair, right
back to f*** it, i don't care, but sometimes
when i wake, the morning light, shows me
the things that i've done right tells me i'll
make it throuh the day, tells me i'll make
it through the night
So if my dad could see me now would he
be proud, that i've become the man i am,
that i don't do just what's allowed, so just in
case there is a heaven, and in case you're
looking down, in case you're listening, i'll
play it loud, in case you're listening, old
man, i'll play it loud, yeah i'll play it loud...
