Make You Proud
Hedegaard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse:]
I woke up staring at the sun
You were there too and the world just felt like one
You gave me a smile and you told me what you knew
That as long as love's around I will never fear the blues
Since then I put my heart in everything I do for you

[Chorus:]
I still hear you now
Even though it's in the past
You showed me how
To make a precious moment last
I sing for you, I sing it loud
If you're there just let me know somehow
Cause at the end of the day
I do everything to make you proud

[Verse 2:]
You taught me, taught me how to live
And without you wouldn't know how to forgive
Now I wanna be strong try to be there just like you
I wanna be the mirror that you're proud to look into
I wanna be the one who always follows through

[Chorus:]
Cause I still hear your words
Even though it's in the past
You showed the world
But it flew away so fast
I sing for you, I sing it loud
Now if you're there just let me know somehow




Cause at the end of the day
I do everything to make you proud x5

Overall Meaning

The song "Make You Proud" by Hedegaard is a tribute to a loved one who has passed away. The lyrics describe how the singer wakes up staring at the sun, feeling like the world is one. This person is suddenly overcome with the realization that the love they shared with the deceased is still present, and will never leave them. The singer is grateful for the love and support they received from the deceased, and they promise to always remember the memories they shared. The chorus emphasizes how the singer still hears the words of the departed person, and they sing loudly to make them proud. The song is about the importance of family and the bond between loved ones that even death cannot break.


The second verse talks about how the deceased person taught the singer how to live and to forgive. They now strive to be strong and there for others, just like the person who inspired them. They want to be a mirror, reflecting the values and virtues of the deceased person. They also promise to follow through, to live the life that the deceased person would be proud of. The song reaches its climax with the repetition of "I do everything to make you proud" - this person was important to them and continues to inspire them even after their passing.

akoli17 17 oh no, so sorry to hear that mate, but he would want you to do well in your studies and have a great life, he will only want the best for you. And read this please, it helps me cope with anything I struggle with :
" When you think about quitting, think about why you started "

This song goes to my best friend, even though we're not best friends as we used to. Every word implicates how I felt towards our friendship. And all I'm left with today is beautiful memories. <3
