A/N: This story is inspired by the following song, Do I Make You Proud by Taylor Hicks.

I do not own any of the original characters, stories, concepts etc of NCIS or otherwise, they belong to their respective owners.

Unbeta'd so all mistakes are my own. Reviews are greatly welcomed. Hope you enjoy.

I've never been the one to raise my hand,
That was not me and now that's who I am,
Because of you I am standing tall,
My heart is full of endless gratitude,
You were the one the one to guide me through,
Now I can see and I believe
It's only just beginning,

This is what we dream about,
But the only question with me now,
Is do I make you proud,
Stronger than I've ever been now,
Never been afraid of standing out,
Do I make you proud,

I guess I've learned, to question is to grow,
That you still have faith, is all I need to know,
I've learned to love, myself in spite of me,
And I've learned to walk, the road that I believe,

This is what we dream about,
But the only question with me now,
Is do I make you proud,
Stronger than I've ever been now,
Never been afraid of standing out,
Do I make you proud,

Everybody needs to rise up,
Everybody needs to be loved, to be loved,

This is what we dream about,
But the only question with me now,
Is do I make you proud,

This is we dream about,
But the only question with me now,
Is do I make you proud,
Stronger than I've ever been now,
Never been afraid of standing out,
But do I make you proud, but do I make you proud,

This is what we dream about,
But the only question with me now,
Is do I make you,
Do I make you proud.
