[Verse 1] You asked if We could talk, by the kitchen door Your arms were wrapped around your chest Both eyes on the floor I heard every word more than ever before No matter how much you’ve rehearsed this You were obviously still nervous (But.. ) [Chorus] I am so proud My child My life Nothing you say could change my mind You opened your heart I opened my arms wide I am so proud My child My love You can be what you feel inside Stay true to who you are You’ve got nothing to hide I am so proud (Proud) I am (Proud) I am (Proud) I am so proud [Extended instrumental dance interlude] [Verse 2] Those posters on your wall I never asked about Some jokes that hit too close Those nights you shut me out I Wish I could turn back the hands of time Help to undo all of your pain Take every one of those flippant comments And wash them down the drain [Chorus] I am so proud My child My life Nothing you do could dim your light You opened your heart You opened up my mind I am so proud My child My love Go with what you’re feeling inside Stay true to yourself You’ve no reason to hide I am so proud (Proud) I am (Proud) I am (Proud) I am so proud [Extended instrumental dance interlude] [Bridge] If the world’s getting too loud You can always come back home to me Let them talk their stupid talk But they will never see How brightly you can burn How brave you have always bean I’ll march right beside you A shoulder on which you can always lean [Extended instrumental dance interlude] [Chorus] I am so proud My child My life Nothing you say could change my mind You opened your heart I opened my arms wide I am so proud My child My love You can be what you feel inside Stay true to who you are You’ve got nothing to hide [Chorus] I am so proud My child My life Nothing you do could dim your light You opened your heart You opened up my mind I am so proud My child My love Go with what you’re feeling inside Stay true to yourself You’ve no reason to hide (Proud) I am (Proud) I am (Proud) I am so proud (Proud) I am (Proud) I am (Proud) I am so proud
