PROUD #LeroySanchez #STANDBY #Proud
VERSE 1
I never thought that I would see my daddy cry
Mom is still holding my bags as she wraps her arm around me tight
We’re dreading the moment
Son, you will be fine
Make sure you show them
How bright you can shine
Last call for boarding I keep turning back to get one last goodbye
CHORUS
I hope that you’re proud
I hope that you’re proud
Cuz I gave it my all
But I’m not where I promised
I would be by now
I hope that you’re proud
I hope that you’re proud
Cuz the last thing I wanted to do when I left
was let you down
VERSE 2
Things seems so slow and before you know ten years go by
I missed so many birthdays because of some stupid plane ticket I couldn’t buy
Son, how are you doing?
I’m doing just fine
What happened to that deal you were ‘bout to sign?
dad don’t you worry, I’m sure something better will come up next time
CHORUS
I hope that you’re proud
I hope that you’re proud
Cuz I gave it my all
But I’m not where I promised
I would be by now
I hope that you’re proud
I hope that you’re proud
Cuz the last thing I wanted to do when I left
was let you down
It was let you down
I never meant to let you down, no
I hope that you’re proud
I hope that you’re proud
Cuz the last thing I wanted to do when I left
was let you down

Covers get u farther than ur own original songs and that's okay, do what works for u

[@LeroySanchez]

I am very grateful for how far my covers have taken me but there’s a reason why I didn’t release original material sooner which was my goal ever since I started doing music. Now that we’re here might as well tell you a little bit about it. I signed an awful record deal when I moved to the states (about the time the Halo cover came out) and this meant that the label owned everything I wrote. I’ve written thousands of songs since then that never saw the light of day because I didn’t have a say on what music came out or didn’t. I got out of this deal around the time I released Elevated (which is my first EP ever and also released independently!) and then I went on a world tour selling out in so many major cities! But by then my covers had already gained SO MUCH recognition that I became the “KZbin cover guy” (a title that I proudly carry with me!) But with the scale leaning so heavily toward covers it became an incredibly difficult task to draw attention towards originals (specially without a budget to market them). And let me say it again, I am extremely thankful to my covers and to everyone that’s joined me in this journey because of them 💛 I would’ve not done all the insane things I’ve done over the years if it wasn’t for them! But the truth is I simply can’t exist without writing, this is what I’ve always needed to do for my own sanity and I hope that the people that fell in love with my covers is able to fall in love just as hard or even harder with my originals. I love you all and I forever will 💛

[@danielcarrasco9089]

Beautiful song Leroy.. Even though you’re not where you thought you would be in life right now, it doesn’t mean you have failed. Yes, things haven’t exactly gone right at times, but you have also been blessed with the opportunity to share your voice with MILLIONS of people and you have a loving family that supports you and are proud. I heard your song last night and I got choked up because I have made so many bad decisions during the best years of my life and now I’m 37. I always hope my parents are proud of me too because of how far I’ve come..try and focus on the blessings bro, you have many and don’t give up 🙏 I don’t often comment on KZbin videos but this song really showed me who you are as a person, and I know you’re a good man and you deserve all the success in life.

[@juanwillians2398]

Leroy, you never said what's happening in your life but you put all the words into the song! And I know how hard it can be to share it with people. All I want to do is give you a big hug! And maybe these hard moments are needed not only for your personal growth but also to find the same people around. You shared your own story but you can't even imaginr how many people have the same feelings as you! We're all proud for you. Tough times always end but your family will always stay with you! Love, Lesia.

[@tellhenro]

Orgullosos estamos todos, tu familia la primera. Has conseguido lo imposible. Perseguir tu sueño y tu carrera sin tener que vender tu alma al diablo por una carrera musical prefabricada y artificial. Te sigo desde que te vi en las noticias de Antena 3 hace 10 años. Tus covers eran y siguen siendo de otro planeta. El sonido de tu voz transforma cualquier canción y la convierte en una nube que te eleva y te calma el espíritu. Ha valido la pena, estás donde tienes que estar. No te rindas nunca.

Love this so much! I've always wanted to have my parents be proud of me in whatever I do. Now as a mom, I am so proud of my son and he's only 14 months. He was born a preemie at 29 weeks and had to literally fight for his life. He's one tough warrior and is now healthy. No matter what I'm sure your parents are proud of what you've done and where you're at.

Leroy, keep being real and vulnerable with your fans. I have been following you for about 10 years now. I appreciate all of your covers, however, growing up, I now value real, raw and vulnerable music like Proud. And I’d like to remind you that your character is also what makes people stay and support you. Keep being you. There’s no doubt that you’re talented. We’re so glad you’re out of that awful record label and now pursuing what you want to do with freedom. I know we don’t know the full extent of what you went through and I’m sorry to be cheesy but we’re all proud of you.

[@MrAirforceAdams]

Been following you for 15 years SuperLeroy. Proud of your journey and glad to see you're healthy and happy. Sing your soul out young man!

[@robertoadalla2909]

I think that majority of humans go through this even once in our lives. We set goals, but things didn't go as we planned. I'm part of that majority. I lived 5 years of my life thinking that I was a failure and would never be worthy of success, genuine love and companion. Pressure used to keep me going, but it broke me all those inclusive years-- I became anti-social, depressed, anxious and conscious in every inch of my body, action and words. What I learned from my experience is to keep moving forward no matter how hard life is. You may not get your goal yet, but if you learn from what you experienced, you didn't fail at all. Get up, believe in yourself and bounce back stronger, fiercer and better! TO WHOEVER IS READING THIS, PLS KNOW THAT YOU GOT THIIIIIS! 💙💪🏽

You brought tears to my eyes with this performance.

[@YoLyrick]

I keep coming back to this song. It hits like a train of grief, then gratitude. My biggest heroes are no longer here and now I'm the hero for my friends passing on the heroism my grandparents and parents gave me. My grandma wasn't here to see my greatest successes to date, but her soul remains in my heart just like you are making your own path and your parents will always be proud regardless of the timetable of your goals. It's also true that sometimes we have to let some goals that no longer serve us go (grieve them) to make room for new bigger and greater goals that more align with who we are today, not who we were yesterday. Just remember you are not alone. 💚✨

And love will protect you, till the day you will be ready to grow as much as you wanted. And explode (In a good way of course). Always follow your heart, and stay true to your desire. Your soul touches sooo deeply! Your voice is healing people, and it's life-changing. That is one of the most important things in the world. This is very much appreciated.. All over the world ! The music industry can be crazy for sensitive people. You are so much greater than this 🧡 Yulia Or Lev

[@dt6822]

This song is a work of art. It's very personal and must have been difficult but it comes across as genuine and without any pretentious ego. Anyone can relate to this story. In the end, the only person whose opinion matters man, is you. We are all ultimately alone. Do what makes you happy and measure yourself by how well you succeed to the standard you set. Whoever wrote that you do covers better than original, doesn't know what he is talking about.
