Still standing at Sunrise

Verse 1

The alarm didn’t ring, but the rooster still knew,

Another long day with a sky turning blue.

Steel-toe boots and a heart full of scars,

Chasing tomorrow in old pickup cars.

The miles keep rolling beneath eighteen wheels,

Some wounds stay hidden, some never quite heal.

Pre-Chorus

I’ve lost more than money,

I’ve carried my shame.

But every sunrise

Still calls my name.

Chorus

I’m still standing at sunrise,

Though the night tried to break me down.

Dust on my boots, tears in my eyes,

Still I walk this stubborn ground.

Life keeps throwing punches,

Lord knows I’ve felt them all.

But a man ain’t measured by the times he falls—

He’s measured by the times he stands after the fall.

Verse 2

The courthouse doors and the weight of regret,

Mistakes that I wish I could somehow forget.

Working these fields till my hands start to bleed,

Giving my family all that they need.

Sometimes the silence is all that I’ve got,

Talking to Heaven when the world says I’m not.

Bridge

I’ve looked in the darkness and stared in its face,

Wondered if anybody’d notice my place.

But somewhere inside me, a small fire remains,

Too stubborn to die through the heartache and pain.

Final Chorus

I’m still standing at sunrise,

Though the road’s been long and rough.

Broken but breathing,

Sometimes that’s enough.

One day these hard miles

Will lead me somewhere new.

And I’ll raise my eyes to the morning sky,

Knowing I somehow made it through.

Outro

So if you see me rolling down another lonely road,

Know I’m carrying more than this heavy load.

I’m just another soul with a story to write…

Still standing at sunrise,

Still holding on tonight.
