Wouldn't It Be Nice To Be Proud

Now I've found a little time

To take a look back

From the caboose

And follow the tracks of my life

They're tangled about lying true

And I know it's just me

And my point of view

But those are the

Important two

I don't need to check with the crowd

Wouldn't 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 wasn't that bright

I saw a island sky

But it wasn't all blue

My answers weren't right

But I didn't wanna lose

So I'd put up a fight

And scream out loud

Wouldn't 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

We'd beat the odds

Whenever they'd 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

Wouldn't it be nice to be proud
