Still Standing

I don't break when the storms come down

Been through hell, but stand my ground

Ain't no man, gonna take my place

I wear these scars off like a badge of faith

Let them talk, I've heard it all

Built my life from every fall

Got dirt and sweat in my veins

That's just proof I earned my name

I've been lost and I've been found

Torn apart, but never down

Had my faith when times got tough

When the roads got cold and rough

Don't need respect or sympathy

The good Lord made me how I should be

Say what you want, it won't change me

I'm still standing proud and free

I've seen friends turn their backs

Watch good hearts fade to black

But I kept walking head held high

Ain't no tear I ain't let dry

I don't run, I face my fight

Work all day and sleep at night

Ain't no rule I gotta obey

I live and die my kind of way

I've been lost and I've been found

Torn apart, but never down

Had my faith when times got tough

When the roads got cold and rough

Don't need respect or sympathy

The good Lord made me how I should be

Say what you want, it won't change me

I'm still standing proud and free

If I fall, I'll stand again

Take my punches on the chin

Ain't built to beg or bend

I'll fight my fight until the end

They can hate, I'll take my peace

Live my life the way I please

I'm still the man I'm meant to be

Ain't no shame in being me

I've been lost and I've been found

Torn apart, but never down

Had my faith when times got tough

When the roads got cold and rough

Don't need respect or sympathy

The good Lord made me how I should be

Say what you want, it won't change me

I'm still standing proud and free
