[Verse 1]
The room was cold, the lights were low
I didn't think I had a place to go
Heavy shadows pulling at my feet
The taste of surrender was bitter and sweet
I was standing on the edge of the night
Looking for a reason to put up a fight
Silenced voices in a crowded head
Wishing I was anywhere but here instead
[Pre-Chorus]
But then a spark, a tiny glow
A whisper said 'it’s not time to go'
I took a breath, I felt the pain
And decided to walk through the pouring rain
[Chorus]
I’m still standing, I’m still here
I fought the ghost and I conquered the fear
When the world said 'give up' and the dark took hold
I chose to be brave, I chose to be bold
It’s a long way up from the valley floor
But I’m not that broken girl anymore
I made it through, I pushed it away
I’m living to see another day
[Verse 2]
The scars are there, they tell a tale
Of the times I thought that I would fail
But every scar is a badge of grace
Evidence I finished the race
I look in the mirror and I see the light
That almost flickered out that night
It’s a miracle in every heartbeat now
I’m keeping the promise, I’m keeping the vow
[Chorus]
I’m still standing, I’m still here
I fought the ghost and I conquered the fear
When the world said 'give up' and the dark took hold
I chose to be brave, I chose to be bold
It’s a long way up from the valley floor
But I’m not that broken girl anymore
I made it through, I pushed it away
I’m living to see another day
[Bridge]
To anyone lost in the deep black sea
Hold on tight, take it from me
The morning comes, the sun will rise
Just keep the fire in your eyes
You’re worth the fight, you’re worth the stay
Don't let the shadows take it all away
[Guitar Solo - Uplifting and Anthemic]
[Chorus]
I’m still standing, I’m still here
I fought the ghost and I conquered the fear
When the world said 'give up' and the dark took hold
I chose to be brave, I chose to be bold
It’s a long way up from the valley floor
But I’m not that broken girl anymore
I made it through, I pushed it away
I’m living to see another day
[Outro]
I pushed through...
Yeah, I made it...
Keep breathing...
You're gonna make it too.
[End]
