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 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

I will make you proud Get the answers and set you free Don't you worry, whatever it might take, I'm finding away And i swear right now That no matter what comes of me Anybody who stands or stood in my path, they are going to pay They... will... pay
