Proud

I never thought that I would see my daddy cry
Mom is still holding my bags as she wraps her arm around me tight
We're dreading the moment
Son, you will be fine
Make sure you show them
How bright you can shine
Last call for boarding I keep turning back to get one last goodbye

I hope that you're proud
I hope that you're proud
Cuz I gave it my all
But I'm not where I promised
I would be by now
I hope that you're proud
I hope that you're proud
Cuz the last thing I wanted to do when I left
Was letting you down

Things seems so slow and before you know ten years go by
I missed so many birthdays because of some stupid plane tickets I couldn't buy
Son, how are you doing?
I'm doing just fine
What happened to that deal
you were 'bout to sign?
Dad don't you worry, I'm sure something better will come up next time

I hope that you're proud
I hope that you're proud
Cuz I gave it my all
But I'm not where I promised
I would be by now
I hope that you're proud
I hope that you're proud
Cuz the last thing I wanted to do when I left
Was letting you down
lt was letting you down
I never meant to let you down, no
I hope that you're proud
I hope that you're proud
Cuz the last thing I wanted to do when I left
Was letting you down
