To make my father proud To make my mother smile I need no conquered worlds, a flame Not set, the paceful style
If I can follow through Oh, love think wavely me as my tears I′ll find the way to sell my clothes Avoiding ships a fuss
If I don′t come up, number one I′ll stand not well apart As one for numbered numbers When knowing in my heart
I dare not to be done To always do my best By listening to me, myself So he can do or else (Of without compromise, Shall follow the feel of constant care)
In my eleven hour I′ll be a man the way To face whatever force my way Prepared that are a shame To just recall the part of guide
For which I have been named A man and a woman′s youngest son Who are growing still a child And that will make my father proud And make my mother smile... (Proud)
If tomorrow all the things were gone Id worked for all my life And I had to start again With just my family by my side Id thank my lucky stars, To be livin′ here today Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they cant take that away
And I′m proud to be an American where at least I know I′m free And I won′t forget the men who died who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up Next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain′t no doubt I love this land God bless the USA
From the lakes of Minnesota To the hills of Tennessee Across the plains of Texas, From sea to shining sea From Detroit down to Houston, To New York to L.A Well there′s pride in every American heart and it′s time to make a change
That I′m proud to be an American where at least I know I′m free And I won′t forget the men who died and who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up, Next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain′t no doubt I love this land God bless the USA
And I′m proud to be an American where at least I know I′m free And I won′t forget the men who died and who gave that right to me
And I gladly stand up Next to you and defend her still today Cause there ain′t no doubt I love this land God bless the USA
We are much too young and life′s so big We don′t know yet what the future brings In its hands for us What tomorrow brings the future knows
No matter what you say No matter what you do We are united
Young and proud Young and proud We are marching on the same side of destiny On the same side of destiny
Chorus:
Anyway anyway you do it [wrong] I′m calling out your name But you never hear me Anyway anyway you do it [wrong] I′m giving you my love no it′s never for sex
And we′re so young and proud Oh anyway anyway you do it [wrong]
All of my life I have watched you climbing mountains, chasing dreams All of my life you gave me everything but you don′t have to give the world to me
Just say you love me as I am, say you want me as I am, say I′m someone in your eyes, that′s all I want it to be Oh, just let me go, I know one day if I′m allowed, if I′m allowed, one day I′ll make you proud
All of your life you′ve taken chances you′ve broke the rules time after time All of your life you′ve gone your own way, so give me this chance, and I′ll go mine
Why can′t you say you love me as I am, say you want me as I am, say I′m someone in your eyes, that′s all I want it to be Oh, just let me go, I know one day if I′m allowed, if I′m allowed, one day I′ll make you proud
Oh, one day I′ll make you proud mmm
And trying to please you now, it′s all I seem to do I′m holding my dreams down, it′s breaking me in two I′ve got to be me now ′cause there′s already one of you I′m on my knees so help me please
Please don′t shoot me down Though you can′t see it now Someday I′ll make you proud
