Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They said I’d never get far
With a split lip and a heavy heart
Left school while the jokes still landed
Carried that hurt with my hands outstretched
[Verse 2]
I loved in a world that flinched
Kept my head down, then I didn’t
Built my name stone by stone
From empty rooms to a robe I own
[Pre-Chorus]
And I fell, I rose
I learned how to glow
From the wreckage, still
I kept my will
[Chorus]
I’m still here
Standing tall
Paper crown
And all
I’m still here
I belong
Hard won soul
Going strong
[Verse 3]
Now the letters sit by my door
Proof of all I bled for
But the win don’t answer why
Some nights I still ask the sky
[Verse 4]
What if purpose is the climb?
What if healing takes its time?
I’ve come this far, that’s no small thing
A scar can be a kind of wing
[Pre-Chorus]
And I fell, I rose
I learned how to glow
From the wreckage, still
I kept my will
[Chorus]
I’m still here
Standing tall
Paper crown
And all
I’m still here
I belong
Hard won soul
Going strong
[Bridge]
If you knew me back then
You’d know I’m not there now
I was bruised, I was bent
But I’m breathing out loud
Maybe purpose is this
To keep choosing the light
To turn every hard year
Into something that shines
[Final Chorus]
I’m still here
Standing tall
Paper crown
And all
I’m still here
I belong
Hard won soul
Going strong
I’m still here
Hold me close
Found my voice
Still got hope
