Proud is a song over a year in the making.
It came to me a few months after my wife Stacy passed away.
I played with the idea in my head for a while but didn’t fully act on it.
Then, in Oct of 2018, I committed to fully writing, producing and recording the song.
This video details the entire creative process.

Lyrics
verse 1
I miss you here
It doesn’t seem fair
I’ve tried to move on
but your fragrance is strong
all of our hopes
and all of our dreams
Finally happening
but you’re not here to see
chorus
but I hope you are proud
I hope you are proud
if you’re looking down
right now
let me know that you’re proud
Verse 2
I’ve kept the fire
I’ve stayed in the race
And when I get tired
I picture your face
And I remember your words
as I hustle along
I see your face in the stands
I hear you cheering me on
chorus
Are you saying you’re proud
I hope you are proud
if you’re looking down
I sure hope you are proud
bridge
tell me it’s true
encourage me now
tell me that you’re keeping watch
helping me to be strong
I wake up at night
I swear something touched me
I think it’s you pushing me on
I gotta believe
cause I can’t believe that you would just
leave me
here to figure it out
on my own
This wasn’t the plan
we said that we would cross
the finish together
I don’t understand
what kind of grace
is it to steal you away
I’m trusting I’ll see you again
and when I do
I know you
will tell me you’re proud
chorus
