Proud Lyrics - 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 mornin' service 

And since all my grandma's other eleven grandsons took to playin' sports and chasin' women 

They left all the singin' 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 the army 

I'm all yours if you want me 

Take my hand and just call me 

Call me 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 

Soldier in the army (Soldier in your 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 [?], 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
