Tasha
by James Nmeika
Lyrics
Verse 1
Tasha, you been through rain
A whole lotta pain
In and out them jail cell doors
Trying to find a name
You came back home
With your head held high
Happy to face the truth
After all those nights
I seen that hurt in you
Still you held it down
Some days were heavy, baby
Still you wore that crown
Pre-Chorus
And I know
It took a long, long road
Too many years
You had to walk alone
But you made it back
You made it through
And every scar you carry
Still look like proof
Chorus
Tasha, I’m proud of you
(Tasha, I’m proud of you)
Tasha, I’m proud of you
(you made it through)
Some days are good
Some days are bad
Some days I miss you so
It hurts me bad
Tasha, I’m proud of you
(Tasha, I’m proud of you)
Verse 2
He came home for prison
Three days of free air
Came to see your face
Like the answer was there
On that first day
He looked in your eyes
Said, “Tasha, I’m proud of you
Thank you for the ride”
Thank you for being there
When the nights got cold
Thank you for holding on
When the world let go
Then his time ran out
So fast, so cruel
Left your heart in the hallway
Left that room so full
Pre-Chorus
And now
That memory stays
A soft little ache
That won’t fade away
But love like that
Still speaks your name
Even through the tears
Even through the pain
Chorus
Tasha, I’m proud of you
(Tasha, I’m proud of you)
Tasha, I’m proud of you
(you made it through)
Some days are good
Some days are bad
Some days I miss you so
It hurts me bad
Tasha, I’m proud of you
(Tasha, I’m proud of you)
Bridge
If I could give you back
One more day
I’d let him say it
One more way
I’d let him hold you close
Just one more time
Before that door closed shut
And stole the light
So when the tears come down
Let them fall
He saw your heart
He saw it all
Final Chorus
Tasha, I’m proud of you
(Tasha, I’m proud of you)
Tasha, I’m proud of you
(you made it through)
Some days are good
Some days are bad
Some days I miss you so
It hurts me bad
Tasha, I’m proud of you
(Tasha, I’m proud of you)
Tasha, I’m proud of you
(Tasha, I’m proud of you)
