Maybe I make things a mess
And maybe you're right to have doubts in me
Maybe, but nevertheless
If you, for once, could just trust me
Just this once, let me come through for you
The way that you want me to
Let me make you proud
Let me show you the best in me
Let me give you a reason to believe
That I can stand tall
And when I return
And I'm more than you dreamt I'd be
Maybe then you will realize that you never actually knew me at all
Sure, I've made lots of mistakes
I know that I've disappointed you
Still, though, whatever it takes
I'm gonna fix it, just watch me
Just you wait, I'll make it up to you
If it's the last thing I'll ever do
I will make you proud
I will make you have faith in me
I will prove that the way I used to be
Is all in the past
I will save the day
And come back here triumphantly
'Cause I long for that look of surprise when you see your son rising at last
The pride in your eyes when you see your son rising at last!
