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 one day I'll make you proud And trying to please you now it's all I seem to do 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
