Still I Stand

Verse 1

I’ve been walking through the hard days

Carrying a weight I can’t explain

Every step feels like a replay

Of the things I couldn’t change

Tried to hide it in the daylight

Kept it buried out of sight

But it follows when the dark comes

And it keeps me up at night

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, it knocked me down more than once

Tried to break me where I was

⸻

Chorus

But still I stand, still I rise

Through the fire in my mind

Every scar, every fall

Didn’t take me after all

Still I stand, still I breathe

Even when it’s hard to be

I’ve been bent, I’ve been bruised

But I’m not the one that breaks

⸻

Verse 2

There were days I almost gave in

Felt the edge of letting go

Heard a voice inside me fading

Saying I’m not strong enough

But there’s something in the silence

That keeps pulling me back up

Like a spark I can’t deny now

Even when I’ve had enough

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, it shook me to my core

But I’m not that weak no more

⸻

Chorus

But still I stand, still I rise

Through the fire in my mind

Every scar, every fall

Didn’t take me after all

Still I stand, still I breathe

Even when it’s hard to be

I’ve been bent, I’ve been bruised

But I’m not the one that breaks

⸻

Bridge

I won’t say it doesn’t hurt

I won’t lie and call it easy

But I made it through the worst

And that’s enough to keep me breathing

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger lift)

Still I stand, still I rise

No more running, no disguise

Every step, every mile

I’ve been fighting all this time

Still I stand, still I’m here

Looking straight into my fear

You can push, you can shake

But I’m not the one that breaks
