It’s Not About You

1. You look into your father’s eyes when he
takes his hands off your head
He whispers that he’s proud of you
and he knows you’ll do your best
You say you wonder if you can do it
and that’s when he says

[Chorus]
It’s not about you
Mmh mmh
It’s not about you
It’s for the people who are blessed by what you do
It’s not about you

2. Everybody’s gathered ‘round you
Eyes all aglow
You start to read that piece of paper
To see where you’ll go
And you wonder if you’re ready
But you already know

[Chorus]
It’s not about you
Mmh mmh
It’s not about you
It’s for those who are searching for the truth
It’s not about you

3. You get home and you fall in love
But you’re scared to death
’Cause you wonder if you’re good enough
But then a thought goes through your head

[Chorus]
It’s not about you
Mmh mmh
It’s not about you
It’s for your children and the world they’re coming to
It’s not about you

[Chorus]
It’s not about you
Mmh mmh
It’s not about you
It’s for the people who are blessed by what you do
It’s not about you

4. Sure you’ve become much better
Because of what you’ve been through
But it’s not about you
It’s not about you
