To take a look back
From the caboose
And follow the tracks of my life
Theyre tangled about lying true
And I know its just me
And my point of view
But those are the
Important two
I dont need to check with the crowd
Wouldnt it be nice to be proud
A door was open
And into the night
I jumped through
And turned on the light
I started to see
Thought it wasnt that bright
I saw a island sky
But it wasnt all blue
My answers werent right
But I didnt wanna lose
So Id put up a fight
And scream out loud
Wouldnt it be nice to be proud
And when it all is clear
Your time to repair disappears
Taking with it chances left untried
I see my friend
Huddled together
Tryin to stay warm
In nasty weather
Wed beat the odds
Whenever theyd call
And all the jokes
I played on my friends
Never did get
Me in the end
I guess I was
Given more than allowed
Wouldnt it be nice to be proud
