Prompt / Lyrics
(Warm, gritty female alto. Verses intimate and bluesy. Chorus like a small church rising together. Let some lines drag behind the beat. Feel testimony, not performance.) [Verse 1] I’ve been walking through the fire With my hands wide open Trying to love when I didn’t know how I been down to the bottom Of my own broken But grace came knocking And I hear it now [Pre-Chorus] I don’t hide from the truth no more I don’t turn from the light Every tear I cried in the dark Led me here tonight [Chorus] I’m still here, still singing With dust on my bare feet and hope on my skin I been lost, I been breaking But I keep finding my way back again Yeah I’m still here, still singing When the whole world says “give in” I’m still here, still singing And I’ll find my way back again [Verse 2] I was scared of the quiet Scared of the noise Tried to be the strong one Tried to behave Now I’m falling in love With the sound of my own voice Learning how to stand After crawling so long in the rain [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need to be perfect Just honest and alive Every shaky little heartbeat Means I survived [Chorus] I’m still here, still singing With dust on my bare feet and hope on my skin I been lost, I been breaking But I keep finding my way back again Yeah I’m still here, still singing When the whole world says “give in” I’m still here, still singing And I’ll find my way back again [Bridge] There were nights I didn’t know If I’d ever be okay But mercy kept calling my name From the other side of the pain I don’t need a perfect tomorrow I just need today I’m still standing in the light I’m still finding my way [Chorus – Call & Response] I’m still here (still here), still singing (still singing) With dust on my bare feet and hope on my skin I been lost (been lost), I been breaking (been breaking) But I keep finding my way back again [Final Chorus] Yeah I’m still here, still singing Still breathing, still believing in I’m still here, still singing Gonna find my way back again Yeah I’m still here, still singing Through the dark, through the wind I’m still here, still singing And I’ll find my way back again
