[Verse 1]
They told me sit down
They said "you’re too much"
Laugh at my big dreams
Scroll past my small cuts
Tried to break my pace
Trip me on my way
But I lace my shoes
Run right through that rain
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar
Every fall
Yeah
I’m dancing with it all
Hear me now
I’m not afraid
I bend
I bruise
I stay
[Chorus]
I’ll be here anyway (anyway)
Whatever they do
Whatever they say
I get thrown in the fire
Still I rise higher
I’ll be here anyway (anyway)
I’m not going away
You can push
You can pull
But I’m still standing full
I’ll be here
I’ll be here anyway
[Verse 2]
Life hit like a wave
Knocked the wind from me
Breathing on the floor
Counting to sixteen
But I found my feet
Right there on the break
Turned the doubt to fuel
Felt the old walls shake
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar
Every fall
Yeah
I’m dancing with it all
Hear me now
I’m not afraid
I bend
I bruise
I stay (I stay)
[Chorus]
I’ll be here anyway (anyway)
Whatever they do
Whatever they say
I get thrown in the fire
Still I rise higher
I’ll be here anyway (anyway)
I’m not going away
You can push
You can pull
But I’m still standing full
I’ll be here
I’ll be here anyway
[Bridge]
This is for the days I almost quit (almost quit)
For the tear-stained shirts in an empty crib
For the nights I thought I’d fade to grey
Look at me now
I’m loud
I’m proud
I’ll stay (hey!)
[Chorus]
I’ll be here anyway (anyway)
Whatever they do
Whatever they say
I get thrown in the fire
Still I rise higher
I’ll be here anyway (anyway)
I’m not going away
You can push
You can pull
But I’m still standing full
I’ll be here
I’ll be here anyway (oh-oh)
I’ll be here
I’ll be here anyway
