[Verse 1]
They told me I was broken, a mind too lost to save,
Called me a monster, left me drowning in the waves.
Every scar, every tear, they carved into my skin,
Tore apart the boy I was but I wont let them win.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve seen the dark, I’ve walked through fire,
Felt my faith flicker like a funeral pyre.
But six strings and eighty-eight keys,
Sing my pain, set me free.
[Chorus]
I am still standing, I am still breathing,
Through every loss, through all the bleeding.
I lost my love, lost my guide,
Lost the ones who made me cry,
But nothing’s stopping me from reaching for the light.
[Verse 2]
Nineteen years old, cancer took nanny away,
An uncle with a bottle, fading day by day.
Kicked out with no warning, nowhere to belong,
Still, I found a way to write my own song.
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been thrown, I’ve been torn,
But even in the fall, I was reborn.
The Lord pulled me far from the dark,
Even when the landing left its mark.
[Chorus]
I am still standing, I am still breathing,
Through every loss, through all the bleeding.
I lost my love, lost my guide,
Lost the ones who made me cry,
But nothing’s stopping me from reaching for the light.
[Bridge]
To my sister- I’m sorry for the silence,
It was the price to escape the violence.
To my father- I pray you break the chain,
Before it drags you to the grave in pain.
To my mother- I know we lost time,
But I’m grateful you still try.
[Outro]
I plead for more, I pray for peace,
For a love that won’t feel out of reach.
And even when the coward whispers, “You won’t make it through,”
I know the Lord’s light is the only truth.
I am still standing.
And I will keep climbing.
Nothing’s stopping me.
