[Intro (soft - hopeful, spoken]
(Mm…)
Okay
Look at that…
So… I’m still here
Verse 1
Had my back to the wall, nowhere to run
Nowhere to go, I was just holding on
Heard all the doubts getting so loud
Louder than the drums, louder than the crowd
They said, “Slow down,” said, “Hold on”
But I felt something burning
Burning so strong
I wore my scars like they defined who I was
Wore my pain like my only trust
Lived in the dark, yeah, all a pretend
I thought the night would never end
Then I learned pain don’t own me
No, no, no
It was only teaching me how
Pre-Chorus
Every tear, every night
Built the strength inside my spine
I don’t hide, I don’t fall
I rise every time — I prove them wrong
[Chorus (ANTHEM / OPEN-ARMS ENERGY]
I’m still standing
Yeah, I’m stronger than before
Heart still beating
Even after all the wars
Hands up, I made it through
Yeah, I made it through
I’m not broken — I’m the proof
Yeah, I’m the proof
Still standing
And I’ve never felt more true
[Post-Chorus (crowd chant / bounce]
Still standing
Still standing
Look at me — I’m the proof
You can do what you wanna do
[Verse 2 (brighter / confident]
I used to doubt every step I took
Tried to be small, tried to play it cool
Now I walk like I belong
I learned every wrong turn
Only made me strong
I don’t need to be fearless
I just move even when I’m scared
Every fall just showed me
I was always prepared
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I was quiet, I was low
Now I let the whole world know
I don’t shrink, I don’t break
I shine for my own sake
Chorus
I’m still standing
Yeah, I’m stronger than before
Heart still beating
Even after all the wars
Hands up, I made it through
I’m not broken — I’m proof
Still standing
And I’ve never felt more true
[Bridge (cinematic lift / vocal focus]
They don’t see all the fights I had
Or the fire I kept inside
But I do
Yeah, I do
I don’t need to win it all
(Never needed to win)
I just needed not to fall
(And I’m still here)
[Final Chorus (big, victorious / full harmonies]
I’m still standing
Yeah, I rose up from the floor
Every scar turned into armor
Every “no” unlocked a door
Hands high, I made it through
I’m not broken — I’m proof
Still standing
And I finally see my worth
[Outro - soft confidence - resolve]
Hey—look at me
I am the proof
That you can do
What you wanna do
