Still standing

Title: Still Standing
by Robert Ramage
Verse 1 – Me (your voice)
I don’t wake up fearless, I wake up ready,
Some days I bend but I stay steady.
I carry the weight, I swallow the doubt,
Keep my head right just to make it out.
Bills keep knocking, time won’t slow,
But quitting ain’t an option I know.
It’s not applause that pulls me through—
It’s my state of mind that tells me what to do.
Pre-Chorus – Me
When the world feels cold and unforgiving,
I remind myself why I’m still living.
Chorus – Her (support)
I see how hard you work every day,
The strength you show in every way.
I’m proud of you, even when you’re worn,
You’re stronger than the storm you’re on.
On the tough days, don’t lose your way—
You’re not alone, I’m here to stay.
Verse 2 – Me
Your words help heal what the grind breaks down,
But I still walk this road on my own two now.
Because when it’s 3 a.m. and no one knows,
It’s my mind that decides if I rise or fold.
Support is fuel, but the fire’s inside,
That inner voice I can’t deny.
I don’t survive just off hope or prayer—
I survive because I choose to stay aware.
Chorus – Her (reassurance, softer)
You’re capable, driven, built to endure,
Your heart’s solid, your soul is pure.
I’ll remind you when you forget who you are,
Even the strongest need a spark.
Bridge – Together (truth meets support)
Me:
Strength starts in the mind, that’s the truth I know.
Her:
And love reminds you you don’t walk alone.
Together:
Hand in hand, but standing tall,
You rise because you chose not to fall.
Final Chorus – Both (lift)
Me:
I keep going ‘cause my mind stays clear.
Her:
And I’m right beside you, always here.
Together:
Support and will, side by side,
That’s how we make it through this life.
Outro – Me (quiet)
Support means everything…
But mindset is what keeps you standing
