Verse 1
I’ve worn the weight of silent nights,
Carried storms behind my eyes,
Smiled through cracks they couldn’t see,
Built a cage called “being fine” around me.
But every scar became a spark,
Every tear lit up the dark,
I found a fire in my chest
Whispering, you deserve your best.
Pre-Chorus
No more bending, no more breaking,
No more love that leaves me shaking—
Chorus
I’m standing strong, I’m standing proud,
Lifting my head above the clouds,
I’m walking away from the hurt I allowed,
No more shrinking, no more bowing down.
My heart’s still gold, my spirit loud,
I’m choosing peace, I’m choosing now,
I’m standing strong, I’m standing proud,
And I’m finally free of the weight I found.
Verse 2
Footsteps echo down the hall,
Each one lighter than before,
I’m not running, I’m rising tall,
Closing gently every door.
What once broke me shaped my skin,
Turned my fear to discipline,
I’m not who I was back then—
I’m my own safe place within.
Pre-Chorus
No more pleading, no more chasing,
No more love that needs erasing—
Chorus
I’m standing strong, I’m standing proud,
Lifting my head above the clouds,
I’m walking away from the hurt I allowed,
No more shrinking, no more bowing down.
My heart’s still gold, my spirit loud,
I’m choosing peace, I’m choosing now,
I’m standing strong, I’m standing proud,
And I’m finally free of the weight I found.
Bridge
Let the past fall like the rain,
It fed the roots but not the pain,
I forgive but I don’t stay—
Some love is meant to fade away.
I am more than what I lost,
More than every hidden cost,
I am hope, I am flame,
I am not my yesterday.
Final Chorus
I’m standing strong, I’m standing proud,
No more hiding in the crowd,
I’m walking away and saying it loud—
I am worthy, here and now.
With steady hands and fearless sound,
I claim the sky, I claim the ground,
I’m standing strong, forever proud…
And I’ll never trade my peace again for doubt.
