Didn't I make you
Proud
Go and lay
My life down
When you called
My name
I thought I stood
For somethin'
Was doin' the
Right thing
When I went away
Now being back
Should be so simple
But I keep getting
These mixed signals
From everyone
Why do folks sit
And judge me
Who ain't seen
What I've seen
Or did what
I done
(Didn't I burn)
(Didn't I bleed)
(Enough for you)
(I faced your fears)
(Felt pain) so you
Won't have to
Yeah didn't I
Do my best
And wasn't home
Here when I left
I've seen boys
Fall to pieces
Grown men cry
Out for Jesus
Till they're black
And blue
I thought God
Was on our side
Weren't we
Supposed to be
The good guys
That would never
Lose
Cause I don't see
No ticker tape
Or five mile
Parades sayin'
Thank you Son
Just folks that sit
And judge me
Who ain't seen
What I've seen
Or did what
I done
(Didn't I burn)
(Didn't I bleed)
(Enough) for you
(I faced your fears)
(Felt pain) so you
Won't have to
Yeah didn't I
Do my best
And wasn't home
Here when I left
