It's the sunrise in the sky
That makes me find my smile
Remembering the good times
Keeps me going for awhile

Do you visit me down here
From your perfect heaven
I miss the laughter I used to hear
The wise words in my ear

I keep trying to be
Someone who makes you proud
I wish you were still around
I just want to make you proud
Do I make you proud
Of me

Our family was a disfunction
But you never left me out
Never saw me as a malfunction
Guided me through my self doubt

And I wish you were still here
Cuz I miss you
And I hope I make you proud
I hope I make you proud

Can you hear me
Up in your perfect heaven
Are you near me
When things get heavy

And I wish you were still here
Cuz I miss you
And I hope I make you proud
I hope I make you proud

I keep trying to be
Someone who makes you proud
I wish you were still around
I just want to make you proud
Do I make you proud
Do I make you proud
I just want to make you proud
Of me

All the times I felt like dying
Your wise words kept me surviving
Taught me to never stop fighting
To always keep climbing

And I wish you were still here
Cuz I miss you
And I hope I make you proud
I hope I make you proud

Oh I'll keep trying to be
Someone who makes you proud
I wish you were still around
I just want to make you proud
I just want to make you proud
I want to make you proud
I want to make you proud
Do I make you proud
Do I  make you proud
I hope you're proud
Of me

And I wish you were still here
Cuz I miss you
