When I was younger,
I told my mother,
«I say, one day I'm gonna make you proud!»
Now that I'm older,
It's so much harder
To say those words out loud.
You're growing taller,
A little smarter
And one day you're gonna leave home.
Oh, will you look like your mother's father
Oh, when you are fully grown?
When I was younger, I asked my father,
«Why are we so human?»
Now that I'm older,
I think I figured it out –
We're just doing what we can.
Because I won't,
I won't let you down.
I won't let you,
I won't let you down, oh now!
I won't, I won't let you down,
I won't let you, I won't let you, I won't, I won't let you down.
When I was younger, I told my mother,
«I say, one day I'm gonna make you proud!»
