Proud

[Verse 1]
Wish I had been stronger
Wish I had known
But I felt so frightened
And now I’ve grown
Into the man you always thought
I could be
Strong and proud just
Like I should be
Maybe I hurt you
Maybe you cried
When you watched me run from
The truth I denied
But I learned my lessons and finally came
To reconcile

[Verse 2]
Boy I wasn’t who I am now
I finally got it figured out
I learned to be proud
The sun set slowly
And time begins
I learned to love this skin I’m in
40,000 years and counting
To where I’m from
But no more doubt in me
Maybe I hurt you
Maybe you cried
When you watched me run from
The truth I denied but
I learned my lessons and finally came
To reconcile

[Verse 3]
Oh boy I wasn’t who I am now
(who I am now)
I finally got it figured out
I learned to be proud of you
Proud of me
Proud of who I’m meant to be
Maybe I hurt you
Maybe you cried
When you watched me run from
The truth I denied but
I learned my lessons and finally came
To reconcile
Oh boy I wasn’t who I am now
(who I am now)
I finally got it figured out
I learned to be proud
I learned to be proud
Ooh I learned to be proud
