  • I've never been the one to raise my hand,
    That was not me and now that's who I am

    Because of you I am standing tall,
    My heart is full of endless gratitude,
    You were the one, the one to guide me through,
    Now I can see and I believe it's only just beginning

    (Chorus):
    This what we dream about
    But the only question with me now
    Is do I make you proud
    Stronger than I've ever been now
    Never been afraid of standing out
    But do I make you proud

    I guess I've learned, to question is to grow
    That you still have faith, is all I need to know
    I've learned to love, myself in spite of me
    And I've learned to walk, the road that I believe

    This what we dream about
    But the only question with me now
    Is do I make you proud
    Stronger than I've ever been now
    Never been afraid of standing out
    But do I make you proud

    Everybody needs to rise up
    Everybody needs to be loved, to be loved

    This what we dream about
    But the only question with me now
    Is do I make you proud
    Stronger than I've ever been now
    Never been afraid of standing out
    But do I make you proud

    This what we dream about
    But the only question with me now
    Is do I make you proud
    Stronger than I've ever been now
    Never been afraid of standing out
    But do I make you proud

    Do I make you proud?
    Do I make you proud?

  • Charlotte Piner from Rosehill In Carshalton I really loved That Powerful Ballad

  • Tracy from Bfe, NeI love me some Taylor Hicks-he is amazingly talented...but let's face it, this song bites the big one. I think if he would have had a less cheesy song to release, his first post-Idol album might have done better. I wonder what the song he turned down was like if he chose this beauty to release instead??? He did the best he could with it though. It worked for the AI finale but not for radio play.
  • Marymagdalene from Shelton, CtThis song was originally given to ELLIOTT YAMIN to sing...

    Taylor did not like the song that AI originally gave him, refused to sing it and walked out...

    So when Elliott was eliminated, Taylor received this song, and made it his own...
  • Me. from Not Telling You : ), KyThis Song Is Great. And I am NOT a big taylor hicks fan. i first heard this song at my 8th grade graduation.
