Make Them Proud

Lyrics

[Verse 1] These were Mami's favorite Hope she looks dow and savors it To bake with her was always so much fun For Papi fresh-cut marigolds A bowl of cherries nice and cold If he were here we'd fight for the last one [Chorus] It's been so long since I've seen them Since we sang favorite songs Or just talked through the night When they called me their Elenita I would know in my heart I would know I was their shining light [Post-Chorus] I hope I make them proud As a daughter As a ruler Hope I make them proud And be all they would have wanted me to be [Verse 2] I've often yearned for their advice On where to go and stop and think twice It's hard to know when you're just seventeen I'll soon be tested Don't know how Wish they could guide me here and now To help me get through this and become Queen [Chorus] It's been so long since I've seen them Since we sang favorite songs or just talked through the night When they called me their Elenita I would know in my heart I would know I was their shining light [Post-Chorus] I hope I make them proud As a daughter As a ruler Hope I make them proud And be all they would have wanted me to be [Outro] As a ruler As a daughter I want to make them proud
