Lyrics

I’ve nev

er been

the (Gsus)one to (G)raise my hand.

That was not me,

and (Gsus)now that’s (G)who I am.

Be cause of you,

I am stand ing tall.

My heart is full

of (Gsus)end less (G)grat i tude.

You were the one,

the (Gsus)one to (G)guide me through.

Now I can see,

and I be lieve it’s on ly (G)just be gin ning.

This is what I dreamed a bout;

but the on ly ques tion with me now,

is, do I (Fmaj7)make you proud?

Strong er than I’ve ev er been, now;

nev er be a fraid of stand ing out.

But do I (Fmaj7)make you proud?

I guess I’ve learned,

to (Gsus)ques tion is to grow.

That you (C5)still have faith

is (Gsus)all I need to know.

I’ve learned

to love

my self (G)in spite of me; and I’ve (G6)learned to walk

(G5)the road that I be lieve.

This is what we dreamed a bout;

but the on ly ques tion with me now

is, do I (Fmaj7)make you proud?

Strong er than I’ve ev er been, now;

nev er be a fraid of stand ing out.

But do I (Fmaj7)make you proud?

Ev ’ry bod y (Gsus)needs

to (Fmaj7)rise

up.

And ev ’ry bod y (Gsus)needs to be (Dm7)loved,

to be (Fmaj7)loved.

This is what we dreamed a bout;

but the on ly ques tion with me now

is, do I (Fmaj7)make you,

(G)do I make you (D)proud?

This is what we dreamed a bout;

but the on ly ques tion with me now

is, do I (Gmaj7)make you proud?

Strong er than I’ve ev er been, now;

nev er be a fraid of stand ing out.

But do I (Gmaj7)make you proud?

(D)proud?

This is what we dreamed a bout;

but the on ly ques tion with me now

is, do I (Gmaj7)make you proud?

Strong er than I’ve ev er been, now;

nev er be a fraid of stand ing out.

But do I (Gmaj7)make you proud?

(Gmaj7)make you proud?

This is what we dreamed a bout;

but the on ly ques tion with me now

is, do I (Gmaj7)make you,

(A)do I make you (D)proud?
