Stand Back Up

[Verse 1]
You bruise
You bleed
You taste that dust again
Another hit
Same old sting
New skin
You stare that mirror down
Like
"Is this all I am?"
Heart still pounding
Hands still shaking
Stand
[Chorus]
You can keep standing back up
When the ground keeps calling your name
You can keep standing back up
Every crack just honors the flame
Don’t let the fear of falling
Write your story in the dust
You can keep standing back up
You are resilience (you are, you are)
[Verse 2]
They talk
They laugh
They say you’re built to break
But they don’t see
All the steel beneath the ache
You’re stitched from fire
From every “no” you turned to “try”
You hit the floor
Then you rise
Then you rise
[Chorus]
You can keep standing back up
When the ground keeps calling your name
You can keep standing back up
Every crack just honors the flame
Don’t let the fear of falling
Write your story in the dust
You can keep standing back up
You are resilience (you are, you are)
[Bridge]
[Drums drop to toms
Guitars pull back]
Yeah
You’re gonna fall
Yeah
It’s gonna hurt
But bones grow strong
Where they’ve been hurt worse
Call it faith
Call it stubborn love
You were made
You were made to get up (hey!)
[Chorus]
You can keep standing back up
When the ground keeps calling your name
You can keep standing back up
Every crack just honors the flame
Don’t let the fear of falling
Write your story in the dust
You can keep standing back up
You are resilience (you are, you are)
You are resilience (stand back up)

rock, Anthemic modern rock with male vocals; crunch guitars over a driving half-time groove in the verses, then double-time drums and open chords in the chorus. Big gang-style backing vocals hit the hook, bass locks in with kick. Bridge strips to toms, bass, and a single clean guitar line before the final chorus explodes with octave leads and held power chords.
