Intro: Strike three, bottom of the ninth, And you were batting back the tears Feelin' like you let the whole world, Down, down, down You and me, drivin' home in silence, I was searchin' through my words Tryin' to find the perfect ones, To say, out, loud Well, I don't remember, What it was I said to you, But I remember what it was, I wanted you to hear Proud, I'm just so proud, I don't know how to say it any better Proud, you make me proud, Win or lose, well it really doesn't matter 'Cause you step up to the plate, Swingin' for the fence, You're gonna change the world around you, Im convinced Just look how you're changin' me We both know that sometimes, You make me crazy And we both know that sometimes, We let each other down But I want you to know whatever you do, Just because you are you, You will always be makin' me Proud, I'm just so proud, I don't know how to say it any better Proud, you make me proud, Win or lose, well it really doesn't matter 'Cause you step up to the plate, Swingin' for the fence, You're gonna change the world around you, Im convinced Just look how you're changin' me You're making me proud You're making me proud
