PROUD
Heather Small (M People) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Still so many answers I don't know
Realise that to question is how we grow
So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I am on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
We need a change
Do it today
I can feel my spirit rising
We need a change
So do it today
'Cause I can see a clear horizon
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
'Cause you could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
What have you done today
You could be so many people?
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?

Linda composição!
Proud - Orgulhoso (Letra em Português)
Eu examino a janela da minha mente.
Reflexões dos medos que sei que deixei para trás.
Então estou saindo do normal.
Posso sentir minha alma subindo.
Eu estou no meu caminho.
Não posso parar agora
E você pode fazer o mesmo, sim.
O que você tem feito hoje para se sentir orgulhoso?
Nunca é tarde demais para tentar.
O que você tem feito hoje para se sentir orgulhoso?
Você poderia ser tantas pessoas,
se apenas fugisse para a liberdade.
O que você tem feito hoje para se sentir orgulhoso?
Ainda há tantas respostas que não sei.
Perceba que questionar, é como nós crescemos.
Então estou saindo do normal.
Posso sentir minha alma subindo.
Eu estou no meu caminho.
Não posso parar agora
E você pode fazer o mesmo, sim.
O que você tem feito hoje para se sentir orgulhoso?
Nunca é tarde demais para tentar.
O que você tem feito hoje para se sentir orgulhoso?
Você poderia ser tantas pessoas,
Se apenas fugisse para a liberdade.
O que você tem feito hoje para se sentir orgulhoso?
Precisamos de uma mudança.
Faça-o hoje.
Posso sentir meu espírito se erguendo.
Precisamos de uma mudança.
Faça-o hoje.
Porque posso ver um horizonte nítido.
O que você tem feito hoje para se sentir orgulhoso?
Então o que você tem feito hoje para se sentir orgulhoso?
Você poderia ser tantas pessoas,
se apenas fugisse para a liberdade.
Então o que você tem feito hoje para se sentir orgulhoso?
O que você tem feito hoje para se sentir orgulhoso?
O que você tem feito hoje.
Você poderia ser tantas pessoas
Se apenas fugisse para a liberdade.
