My Papa told me When I was young To always stand tall And have faith little one No matter how tough Or heavy the load Keep marching on And you make your own road And my waves did crash As the storms did roll And my heart went a blaze With the worry I hold And I loved in the dark And I loved out loud But I'll keep marching on And hope I make him proud Oh oh oh oh oh oh I'll keep marching on And hope I make him proud My Mama told me As a young man That I have a choice To be all that I can Heartache and pain might Sully your bones But each soul has a light And you can find your way home And my waves did crash As the storms did roll And my heart went a blaze With the worry I hold And I loved in the dark And I loved out loud But I'll live out my dreams And hope I make her proud Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Yes I'll live out my dreams And hope I make her proud Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Yes I'll live out my dreams And hope I make her proud Bridge (Guitar) My brother showed me As we grew old That can be the villains Or the Heroe of Souls And we made a pact To always stand true No matter how deep Or bloody the bruise And my waves did crash As the storms did roll And my heart went a blaze With the worry I hold And I loved in the dark And I loved out loud But I'll wear all my scars And hope I make him Proud
