1. You look into your father’s eyes when hetakes his hands off your headHe whispers that he’s proud of youand he knows you’ll do your bestYou say you wonder if you can do itand that’s when he says
It’s not about youMmh mmhIt’s not about youIt’s for the people who are blessed by what you doIt’s not about you
2. Everybody’s gathered ‘round youEyes all aglowYou start to read that piece of paperTo see where you’ll goAnd you wonder if you’re readyBut you already know
It’s not about youMmh mmhIt’s not about youIt’s for those who are searching for the truthIt’s not about you
You get home and you fall in loveBut you’re scared to death’Cause you wonder if you’re good enoughBut then a thought goes through your head
It’s not about youMmh mmhIt’s not about youIt’s for your children and the world they’re coming toIt’s not about you
It’s not about youMmh mmhIt’s not about youIt’s for the people who are blessed by what you doIt’s not about you
3. Sure you’ve become much betterBecause of what you’ve been throughBut it’s not about youIt’s not about you
It’s not about youMmh mmhIt’s not about youIt’s for the people who are blessed by what you doIt’s not about you
