[Verse 1]
This year came hard
Like hail on the roof
Punched holes in my plans
Made me face the truth
I wore down fast
But I did not fold
Kept showing up
Even when I felt old
[Pre-Chorus]
I lost my way
Then found my feet
Piece by piece
I learned to breathe
What bent me low
Could not break me clean
I kept my name
I kept my dream
[Chorus]
Still here, still standing
(still here)
Took the hit and kept on going
Still here, still standing
(still here)
Hard year, now I'm growing
I bend, I don't break
I rise, I don't shake
Still here, still standing
And I'm stronger for what it takes
[Verse 2]
I watched the rain
Turn fields to mud
Had empty hands
And a stubborn heart
Some days I crawled
Some days I ran
Some days I barely knew
The shape of my own plan
[Pre-Chorus]
I lost my way
Then found my feet
Piece by piece
I learned to breathe
What bent me low
Could not break me clean
I kept my name
I kept my dream
[Chorus]
Still here, still standing
(still here)
Took the hit and kept on going
Still here, still standing
(still here)
Hard year, now I'm growing
I bend, I don't break
I rise, I don't shake
Still here, still standing
And I'm stronger for what it takes
[Bridge]
Let the scars show
Let them know
I was forged in the fire
Not the smoke
I learned my strength
In the hardest room
Now I walk in
Like I was born for this too
[Final Chorus]
Still here, still standing
(still here)
Took the hit and kept on going
Still here, still standing
(still here)
Hard year, now I'm growing
I bend, I don't break
I rise, I don't shake
Still here, still standing
And I'm stronger for what it takes
