Proud Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Girl, they will try to tell you what to do
How to look, smile, act and move
All the rules are made for you to lose
But baby let me tell you something

[Verse 2]
Girl, for every tear the world makes you cry
Hold on to me
I am always on your side
Don't be afraid to spread your wings and fly

[Chorus]
Tell them
Raise your voice and say it loudly
Show them what it means to stand up proudly
Tell them
This is me and thanks to you I'm proud
Go on now, tell them
Raise your voice and say it loudly
Show them what it means to stand up proudly
Tell them
This is me and thanks to you I'm proud, I'm proud, I'm proud

[Verse 3]
Girl, they will try to tell you what to do
Have no fear, the power lies in you
Shine your light, go and break the rules

[Chorus]
Go on now, tell them
Raise your voice and say it loudly
Show them what it means to stand up proudly
Tell them
This is me and thanks to you I'm proud, I'm proud, I'm proud
Go on now, tell them
Raise your voice and say it loudly
Show them what it means to stand up proudly
Tell them
This is me and thanks to you I'm proud

[Outro]
Girl

What did Tamara Todevska say about "Proud"?

In an Instagram post, Todevska said about the song:

“I know it sounds like a cliché, but they truly changed my life and I feel, both, as a mother and as a parent, that it is my responsibility and OUR responsibility to bring positive change to our children’s lives. Today, as I look at my daughter, I want her to grow up in a world where people will not judge her, tell her how to act, smile and move. I want her to be whoever she wants to be and most importantly, be proud of who she is. That’s the least I can do for her.

I am proud to say that on the 16th of May I will dedicate my song to my daughter and sing for everyone out there who has been told to always lower their heads and follow strict rules."
