Verse 1
I learned early how to stand
Without a net, without a plan
I learned silence, I learned sound
I learned what stays when love breaks down
I’ve walked away, I’ve walked alone
I’ve built a life from skin and bone
Every step that led me here
Still echoes — I am still here
⸻
Chorus (Mantra — SIMPLE & POWERFUL)
I am still here
I am not small
I am the rise after the fall
I am still here
I am my own
I am the truth I’ve always known
⸻
Verse 2
I’ve been called names I never wore
I’ve been shut out of open doors
But kindness isn’t weakness learned
It’s strength that’s quiet, deep, and earned
I’ve loved in ways that didn’t last
Still honour what we almost had
Some bonds change, some remain
Love doesn’t vanish — it just rearranges
⸻
Chorus
I am still here
I am not small
I am the rise after the fall
I am still here
I am my own
I am the truth I’ve always known
⸻
Bridge (Spoken / Soft)
I don’t explain myself anymore.
I don’t shrink to be understood.
I don’t dim what was never broken.
I stand.
⸻
Final Chorus (Lift, Group-Sing Feel)
I am still here
Clear and alive
I am the light I couldn’t hide
I am still here
I’ve always been
I am the man I stand within
(Repeat “I am still here” softly to end)
