Do I Make You Proud Taylor Hicks I've never been The one to raise my hand That was not me And now that's who I am Because of you I am standing tall My heart is full Of endless gratitude You were the one The one to guide me through Now I can see And I believe It's only just beginning This is what we dream about But the only question with me now Is do I make you proud Stronger than I've ever been now Never been afraid of standing out Do I make you proud Everybody needs to rise up Everybody needs to be loved To be loved
