Proud

Proud - Todrick Hall

As far back as my brain will let me travel

I remember my grandma telling me

Todrick there are three things in life you can't escape

Death taxes and Sunday school

Well turns out she was right

Come rain or shine I was there every single Sunday morning service

And since all my grandma's other eleven grandsons

Took to playing sports and chasin' women

They left all the singing to me

When I reach those gates

When I see your face

I hope you're proud of me

I hope you're proud

Cause I'm spendin' all my days

Trying to find a way

To make you proud of me

To make you proud

Cause I just wanna be a

Soldier in your army

I'm all yours if you want me

Take my hand and just call me

Call me yours yours yours

Soldier in the army

I'm all yours if you want me

Take my hand and just call me

Call me yours

I probably sang those songs a million times growing up

But they always felt so good to me

So much soul went into the lyrics and melody

You couldn't help but stomp and clap when you heard 'em

I didn't always know exactly what I was singing about

All I know is I felt something in those songs I couldn't explain

When I stand before your throne

When you call me home

I hope you're proud of me

I hope you're proud

Cause I know it won't be long

I'm fightin' hard and strong

To make you proud of me

To make you proud

Cause I just wanna be a

Soldier in the army yeah

I'm all yours if you want me I'm all yours

Take my hand and just call me

Call me yours yours yours

Soldier in the army

Soldier in the army

I'm all yours if you want me I'm all yours

Take my hand and just call me

Call me yours

Now I was always different

And in the small town of playing Texas where I'm from

People like to let you know just how different they thought you were

They called me weird punk faggot sissy

But my mama just called me special

I don't remember much from my childhood

But one moment I do remember vividly

Partially because it changed my life

But mostly because I don't have that many moments

With my father to remember
