I Am Still Here

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)
