Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wake up first
Before the house does
Tie my boots
Face the hard truth
There’s a weight on me
Like a second spine
But I hold it straight
For the ones that are mine
[Verse 2]
I’ve worn the hurt
Like a shirt of steel
Took each old cut
And learned how to heal
When the night got mean
I still stayed near
Kept my voice calm
Kept my hands clear
[Pre-Chorus]
If I bend, I bend for them
If I break, I build again
Every scar says I survived
Every step keeps us alive
[Chorus]
Stone on my back
I still stand tall
I take the hit
And I don’t fall
Best father I can
With a shaking hand
I turn my pain
Into a man
Stone on my back
I still stand tall
[Verse 3]
School bag zipped
Shoes by the door
Little feet racing
Across the floor
They ask for a hug
I give all I’ve got
That’s how I win
When the world feels hot
[Pre-Chorus]
If I bend, I bend for them
If I break, I build again
Every scar says I survived
Every step keeps us alive
[Chorus]
Stone on my back
I still stand tall
I take the hit
And I don’t fall
Best father I can
With a shaking hand
I turn my pain
Into a man
Stone on my back
I still stand tall
[Bridge]
I know the ache
I know the loss
I know the cost
I carry across
But I look at them
And I find my flame
I won’t pass down
What tried to break my name
[Final Chorus]
Stone on my back
I still stand tall
I take the hit
And I don’t fall
Best father I can
With a steady hand
I turn my pain
Into a man
Stone on my back
I still stand tall
Stone on my back
I still stand tall

Metal with clean male vocals, mid-tempo and riff-driven; verse rides tight palm-muted guitars and tom-driven pulses, pre-chorus opens into rising chords, chorus hits wide with stacked harmonies and a soaring lead line. Bridge drops to low clean guitar and a lone vocal, then returns with bigger drums and octave doubles. Breath-snag pauses, cymbal swells, and a final guitar lift add tension; bright, heavy, and polished with a muscular modern mix., metal, clean
