I still remember
The time you told me
That I would never
Climb too high on my own

The painful memories
Of how you taunted
And never praised me
I don't mind, I'm doing fine

Take a good look at what I've become
I don't need you to be proud
It took my strength to unlock my dreams
If you were here you would see 
I believe

I've not forgotten
All my desperate ways
To gain attention
But now I've learnt to be myself

Take a good look at what I've become
I don't need you to be proud
It took my strength to unlock my dreams
If you were here you would see

Living my life
And working so hard
To reach my goals
Finally I have left the past behind

Take a good look at what I've become
I don't need you to be proud
It took my strength to unlock my dreams
If you were here you would see

Take a good look at what I've become
I don't need you to be proud
It took my strength to unlock my dreams
If you were here you'll finally see
