Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 I grew up learning how to swallow every word I meant to say Let people walk across my heart like it was just another place I carried storms inside my chest and called it being strong Took the blame for every bruise like I deserved what went wrong Pre‑Chorus But somewhere in the quiet, when the world finally got still I heard a voice inside me whisper, “Boy, you’ve had your fill” Chorus Stand up, son — you’ve been down too long You’ve been fighting battles that were never yours to own Wipe your tears, lift your chin, you’re not made to break and bend You ain’t a punching bag for people who don’t know how to love a friend Stand up, son — this is where your story turns again Verse 2 I spent years trying to earn a place in hearts that never stayed Let the wrong ones shape my worth until I almost lost my name I kept giving second chances to the ones who never grew And every time I lost myself, I swore that’s what a good man do Pre‑Chorus But the mirror doesn’t lie, and the man staring back at me Said, “You can’t heal in places where you’re not allowed to be” Chorus Stand up, son — you’ve been down too long You’ve been fighting battles that were never yours to own Wipe your tears, lift your chin, you’re not made to break and bend You ain’t a punching bag for people who don’t know how to love a friend Stand up, son — this is where your story turns again Bridge I know you’re tired of being quiet, tired of carrying all that pain But strength ain’t in the suffering — it’s in walking out the rain You’ve got fire in your spirit, you’ve got purpose in your bones And the man you’re meant to be is waiting for you to come home Final Chorus Stand up, son — you’ve been down too long You’ve been fighting shadows that were never yours to own Wipe your tears, lift your chin, let your heartbeat rise again You ain’t a punching bag for people who don’t know how to love a friend Stand up, son — this is where your story finds its end And its beginning all at once… Stand up, son.
