lyrics
Proud
by Gordon Lee Worden (2012)
The waves roll in, the waves roll out and I don’t change
If it costs too much I’ll do without and I won’t change
The winds of war can twist and shout and I don’t change
‘Cause I can fight my own way out and I won’t change
I don’t change for no-one...
(Chorus) I will stand my ground
And I will make you proud
Your mossy yard is overgrown and I don’t change
As nature claims your empty home but I don’t change
People come and people go and I don’t change
I’m moving on without letting go ‘cause I don’t change
I don’t change for no-one...
(Chorus) I will stand my ground
And I will make you proud
(Bridge) There’s no turning back
When memories attack
I know all good things eventually subtract
I’ve spent my life collecting things and I won’t change
I’d give it all just to hear you sing and I won’t change
I don’t change for no-one...
(Chorus) I will stand my ground
And I will make you proud
