I look into the window of my mind
Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I'm on my way, can't stop me now
And you can do the same, yeah
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Mmm, mmm
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel prouder?
Still so many answers I don't know
(There are so many answers)
Realize that to question is how we grow
(To question is to grow)
So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I'm on my way, can't stop me now
You can do the same, yeah
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Mmm, mmm, mmm
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Yeah
We need a change, yeah
Do it today, yeah
I can feel my spirit rising
Change, yeah, we need a change, yeah
So do it today, yeah
'Cause I can see a clear horizon
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
To make you feel proud, yeah
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause you could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel prouder?
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Yeah, let me hear ya
What have you done today? What have you done today?
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
Oh yeah, yeah
You could be so many people
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel prouder?
