Still Standing

(Intro)

They said I wouldn’t make it,

said I’d fall apart.

But they forgot who I am,

forgot what shaped me.

(Verse 1)

Scars tell the stories that cut deep and wide.

Proof I lived, not just survived.

Lost more than I can name.

Built it back from wreckage and rain.

Hands torn open, but I don’t let go.

Truth’s the only pulse I know.

(Pre-Chorus)

Knock me down once. I’ll crawl upright.

(Chorus)

Bent, cut, scarred by time.

Didn’t stay down, learned to climb.

Still breathing, still here, still walking that line.

The real ones don’t fade; they redefine.

(Verse 2)

They ran when the noise got loud.

I stayed in the ring, kept my ground.

Heart’s the engine. Soul, the fuel.

No lies. No rules.

No banners. No spotlight.

Just work and long nights.

If love’s a fight, I’m the last to yield.

Truth for bullets. Words for shields.

(Bridge)

No capes. No shining screens.

Only steady hearts and working dreams.

If I leave a mark behind,

Let it say love rewrote time.

(Verse 3)

For the nurses in the dark hours.

Drivers chasing sunrise.

Teachers giving from what’s left.

Waitresses holding smiles through storms.

Janitors clearing pain away.

Moms and dads keeping homes alive.

Quiet hands hold this place together.

They live what others just say.

(Final Chorus)

Bruised and scraped, reshaped by the grind.

Didn’t stay broken, realigned.

Still climbing. Still healing. Still standing in time.

Quiet heroes shine without trying.

(Outro)

They said we’d vanish.

We got louder instead.

We build again.

Every breath alive.
