You ever have one of those days Where the world's weight sets Just a bit heavier on your shoulders As you try your best to meet Everyone's high standards, But you can't because all you are is failure; And you know that all you need Is to hear one person say, "Hey, you're doing great. It's hard; But I'm proud of you."? Ever have one of those days Where that's all you'll need in order to make it-- Just one person to be proud of you? Now I know you don't think much of me, So this may not mean much to you, But I think it should mean more Than anybody else's words: Well, I'm proud of you.

My Reflection's Pride
You ever have one of those days Where the world's weight sets Just a bit heavier on your shoulders As you try your best to meet Everyone's high standards, But you can't because all you are is failure; And you know that all you need Is to hear one person say, "Hey, you're doing great. It's hard; But I'm proud of you."? Ever have one of those days Where that's all you'll need in order to make it-- Just one person to be proud of you? Now I know you don't think much of me, So this may not mean much to you, But I think it should mean more Than anybody else's words: Well, I'm proud of you.
