Verse 1
There’s a war you don’t show on your face
Silent nights you don’t dare to name
You learned early how to stay upright
When no one came, you stayed the night
You learned strength isn’t teeth or sound
Sometimes it’s not backing down
Sometimes it’s breathing through the ache
Sometimes it’s choosing not to break
Pre-Chorus
Every truth you tried to hide
Left a mark you couldn’t deny
You don’t need to be unscarred
You just need to know who you are
[Chorus Deep / Anthemic / Grounded]
I’m still standing here
Through the weight, through the years
Every doubt tried to pull me under
But I learned how to breathe in thunder
Hands shaking, heart sincere
I’m still standing here
Not untouched, not unclear
Just alive — and standing here
Verse 2
There were days you went quiet inside
Just to keep the peace, just to survive
You folded dreams into smaller shapes
So the world wouldn’t call them mistakes
But the voice you buried learned to grow
In the dark, in the undertow
Every time you chose to stay
You rewrote fate in small brave ways
Pre-Chorus
They mistook your calm for weak
But storms don’t always speak
You don’t need to prove your worth
You’ve been earning it since birth
Chorus
I’m still standing here
Through the weight, through the years
Every doubt tried to pull me under
But I learned how to breathe in thunder
Hands shaking, heart sincere
I’m still standing here
Not untouched, not unclear
Just alive — and standing here
[Bridge Bare - Build / Chant Emerges)
I bent, I bled, I stayed
I lost myself, then stayed
I questioned every line
But I never crossed mine
(chant — low, growing)
Still… here
Still… here
[Breakdown Chant Crowd Moment]
Say it slow — I remain
Say it true — through the pain
Every fall, every fear
Brought me right — right here
[Final Chorus Lift / Resolve]
I’m still standing here
With my scars in the clear
Every wound wrote a chapter
Every loss made me harder
Hands high, eyes sincere
I’m still standing here
Not fearless — just real
Still standing here
[Outro (Harmonies / Echo]
Still standing here
Still standing here
I’m still standing here
Tonenico
