"Proof"
VS1
Good thing that I didn't know,I'd be 50 when I hit my stride! So glad that no one told me,I'd a been too mad to try! Got to be a reason,though I'm sure that I don't know! Got to get this outta me,I can't hold it back no 'mo!
Chorus
I need Proof! Yeah! Proof that I was here,I need Proof,you know I'll make it clear! I need someone to remember that I lived,before I die! I need somethin' real to show the world,that I kept the blues alive!

VS2
Might have been much easier to just quietly fade away. Never step back to the spotlight,when my hair had all gone grey! I had so many reasons,to just not take the risk! But what's the use of livin' now,if 'ya never use your gifts?

Chorus

VS3
Just like every one of you,my road it ain't gone straight. Path's been rough and bumpy,sometimes you lose your way. But if you just keep steppin' you're sure to not freeze up. No matter what it takes you now, the blues just don't give up!
CHORUS
VS4
So if somebody tells you,there's no room for what you got. Don't you dare believe them! Keep pressin' toward your mark! That thing that's deep inside of you,that makes your life worthwhile,use it to keep you goin'! Keep pushin' with a smile!
Chorus & out
