Proud
Wouldn't it be nice to hold my head up?
erase all the ugliness, take away all the gray
make a banner for the one I love
wouldn't it be nice to be proud?
pain is just a formality, my smile would shine through
I might get knocked down
but my spirit would never disappear
it would stay in my soul, under lock and key
I think I would shout to the ends of the universe
wouldn't it nice to be proud?
not have to worry about those little things
that can seem to turn into huge problems
losing a 20 wouldn't matter
because money was no object
yeah it would be nice to be a little proud
so can I please start now?
life would be better if I was...
I just know that maybe I missed out
when everyone else got aboard
but wait I still have my ticket
is it too late? no I am not going to believe it is
man one day I am going to be so proud.
