I'm Proud That You're My Child
From the day you were born
I've watched you as you'd grow
I taught you all the things you need to know
And from bikes and saktes to playing ball
I've watched you running down the halls at school
You know that was so cool
But within a flash
It seems you've grown up over night
I can only pray in my heart that I've raised you right
Because as life goes on, there'll come a day
A child grows up and moves away
So I'm taking time today to say forever and for always
I'm so proud that you're my child and I'm always thinking of you
I'd give my all to make you smile
Cause that's how much I love you
I pray that God will grant me years enough
to stand by you when your times get rough
Because I know what you can be
And most of all I'm proud of who you are
(2nd verse)
this world has gone mad
It's getting stranger every day
so mansy things can make you go astray
Ad as you live and learn, you'll make mistakes
You'll have good times..you'll have bad breaks
But that's the only way you'll know
You need to find a better path to follow
I'm proud that you're my child
and I'll always be here for you
I'd give my life to spare yours child
Cause that's how I adore you
And if you should fall short don't feel dismay
I'm behind you pushing all the way
Because Iknow what you can be
And I'm so proud of you
Remember that trouble don't last always
that's what's gonna get you through your hardest days
No need to worry about your enemy
Because to get to you they've got to go through me
when you try to move forward and they close the doors
Remember God's got my back and I've got yours
Until the day I can't be here
I want you to be proud of who you are
(back ground)
I'm proud that You're my child
And I'll always be here for you
I would give my life to spare yours child
cause that's how I adore you
and within your heart be very clear
If there should come a day I can't be here
I'm proud that you're mychild
