[Verse 1]
Saw you fight the stairs again
White-knuckled on that rusted rail
Every step feels like a mountain
Every stare another nail
They only see what’s on the surface
They never ask what’s in your fire
But I’ve watched you crawl through storms
You walk on broken wire
[Chorus]
Heads up
Hands out
We stand beside you
You’re not a burden
You’re not “too much”
We wear your battle scars like armor
This is our promise
This is our touch
Keep your head up
We keep our hands out
We’re in this war as one
[Verse 2]
Every ramp that ends in nowhere
Every door that slams your face
You still roll into the wreckage
Turn that pain into your pace
They call you “brave” but never listen
Talk over every word you say
I’ll be the voice that backs your thunder
We tear their tired scripts away
[Pre-Chorus]
You are not their whispered pity
You are not their lowered eyes
You’re the crack that splits their concrete
You’re the truth that never dies
[Chorus]
Heads up
Hands out
We stand beside you
You’re not a burden
You’re not “too much”
We wear your battle scars like armor
This is our promise
This is our touch
Keep your head up
We keep our hands out
We’re in this war as one
[Bridge]
If the world builds walls
We’ll bring the sledgehammers (hey!)
If the ground gives way
We’ll be the loud anchors
If they say “sit down”
We’ll tear out their throne
You’ll never fight this
You’ll never fight this alone
[Breakdown]
Raise your cane
Your chair
Your crutch (woah)
Raise your voice
It’s been enough
Every “can’t” becomes a crack
We’re the ones who’ve got your back
[Chorus]
Heads up
Hands out
We stand beside you
You’re not a burden
You’re not “too much”
We wear your battle scars like armor
This is our promise
This is our touch
Keep your head up
We keep our hands out
We’re in this war as one
