Verse 1
I’ve been knocked flat on the pavement
Dust in my lungs, heart racing
Yeah, I’ve felt the weight of doubt
But I’m still here, still shouting out
They tried to bend me out of shape
Tried to tell me what I ain’t
But every hit just proved somehow
You can’t break what won’t bow down
Pre-Chorus
I found a strength I didn’t know
In the cracks where pressure grows
Every fall just showed me how
To stand up taller than before now
Chorus
We don’t back down, back down
Even when the walls cave in
We don’t back down, back down
We’re still standing in the wind
Every scar, every bruise
Just reminds us who we are
We don’t back down, back down
We rise up where we are
Verse 2
Every scar across my skin
Is proof I’ve walked through fire and wind
Every tear I tried to hide
Turned to steel I keep inside
I’m not fearless — I just choose
Not to let the dark one win
If I fall, I’ll fall forward
And I’ll get up again
Pre-Chorus 2
The louder the doubt, the harder I fight
The longer the road, the brighter the light
Every step through the unknown
Builds a strength that feels like home
[Chorus Bigger Lift]
We don’t back down, back down
Even when the ground gives in
We don’t back down, back down
We’re still breathing through the wind
Every scar, every bruise
Just reminds us who we are
We don’t back down, back down
We rise up where we are
[Bridge Stripped / Emotional]
I don’t need to be untouchable
I just need to stand
When the world tries to shake me
I hold my ground again
This isn’t about perfection
It’s about staying in
When the storm keeps pushing
We lean — but we don’t bend
[Final Chorus Full Band / Harmony Lift]
We don’t back down, back down
Even when the walls cave in
We don’t back down, back down
We’re still standing in the wind
Every scar, every bruise
Just reminds us who we are
We don’t back down, back down
We rise up where we are
