Christine Anu - Proud lyrics

[Verse 1] Wish I had been stronger Wish I had known But I felt so frightened And now I've grown Into the man you always thought I could be Strong and proud just Like I should be Maybe I hurt you Maybe you cried When you watched me run from The truth I denied But I learned my lessons and finally came To reconcile [Verse 2] Boy I wasn't who I am now I finally got it figured out I learned to be proud The sun set slowly And time begins I learned to love this skin I'm in 40,000 years and counting To where I'm from But no more doubt in me Maybe I hurt you Maybe you cried When you watched me run from The truth I denied but I learned my lessons and finally came To reconcile [Verse 3] Oh boy I wasn't who I am now (who I am now) I finally got it figured out I learned to be proud of you Proud of me Proud of who I'm meant to be Maybe I hurt you Maybe you cried When you watched me run from The truth I denied but I learned my lessons and finally came To reconcile Oh boy I wasn't who I am now (who I am now) I finally got it figured out I learned to be proud I learned to be proud Ooh I learned to be proud
