I Stand for You

Verse 1]
I was forged in the fire before you knew my name
Carried weight I never chose, learned how to stand in flame
Then you came like a signal through the noise and the fight
Turned survival into purpose, turned darkness into light

I don’t tell you every battle
I don’t show you every scar
But every step I take forward
Is because of who you are

[Pre-Chorus]
When the world tried to take me under
You gave me something to rise for
I didn’t just stay alive
I became more

[Chorus]
I stand for you
With my hands, with my heart, with my life
I stand for you
Through the storm, through the fear, through the night
If the ground ever shakes beneath your feet
I’ll be the strength you feel
I stand for you
Always

[Verse 2]
I see courage in your questions
I see fire in your eyes
You feel deeper than most people
That’s your gift — don’t compromise

They might try to harden you
Tell you love is weakness too
But I’ll teach you how to hold your light
Without letting it burn you

[Pre-Chorus]
I won’t promise you an easy road
I promise you won’t walk it alone
Every lesson I survived
I pass to you as hope

[Chorus]
I stand for you
With my voice, with my spine, with my name
I stand for you
When the world tries to tell you to change
If the weight ever feels too much to bear
I’ll meet you right there
I stand for you
Always

[Bridge – tear breaker]
If the world ever makes you doubt yourself
Come find me — I’ll be right here
I’ll remind you who you are
When it gets too loud to hear

You don’t have to be strong for me
You don’t have to pretend
You’re allowed to rest in my arms
That’s how this begins

[Final Chorus]
I stand for you
Not just today but all your days
I stand for you
In every choice, in every way
When you forget how powerful you are
I’ll remind you where you’re from
I stand for you
My son

[Outro]
One day you’ll walk ahead of me
Strong, steady, free
And I’ll smile knowing
Everything I survived
Was to stand right here
For you
