Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
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
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
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
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
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
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
3. Sure you’ve become much better Because of what you’ve been through But it’s not about you It’s not about you
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
