[Heartland Roots Rock - 120 BPM - Low Baritone Male Vocal] [Verse 1] I’ve been carrying a weight no one can see Got a war in my chest trying to bury me Every scar on my hands has a story to tell Every step that I took came straight out of hell I built this life with these two hands Piece by piece on stubborn plans Now something inside keeps calling my name Trying to drag me back to the man I became [Pre-Chorus] But I know that voice And I know that game It wants everything It won’t get my name [Chorus] I’ll stand my ground, I won’t back down I fought too hard to turn around I’ve got something worth fighting for I’m not giving up what I built anymore Let the darkness come, let it test my soul I’ve been down before, but I won’t let go I’ll face these demons, I’ll take control I will survive, and I will conquer them all [Verse 2] There were nights I could barely trust my head Every promise I made felt better left unsaid I watched old habits come creeping in Like a familiar voice saying, “Let me win” But I’ve got people counting on me And a life I refuse to leave I know the price of losing my way So I’m choosing to fight for another day [Pre-Chorus] I know that voice I’ve heard it before It wants me broken I won’t give it more [Chorus] I’ll stand my ground, I won’t back down I fought too hard to turn around I’ve got something worth fighting for I’m not giving up what I built anymore Let the darkness come, let it test my soul I’ve been down before, but I won’t let go I’ll face these demons, I’ll take control I will survive, and I will conquer them all [Bridge] I’m not the man I was yesterday I’ve earned every inch of the life I made If I stumble, I’ll rise again If I break, I’ll learn to mend There’s still fire left in these bones I’m still standing on my own These demons don’t decide my fate I’ve got too much left to save [Breakdown] No more running No more hiding No more letting fear decide I’ve got scars I’ve got reasons I’ve got something worth defending tonight [Final Chorus] I’ll stand my ground, I won’t back down Let the whole damn world hear me now I’ve got something worth fighting for I’m not giving up what I built anymore Let the darkness come, let it test my soul I’ve been down before, but I won’t let go I’ll face these demons, I’ll take control I will survive, and I will conquer them all [Outro] Yeah, I’ll stand my ground I won’t lose what I made These demons can follow But they won’t have their way I’m still here I’m still strong I fought my way this far And I’m gonna carry on
