(Opening – soft piano and crowd ambience) Phoenix… This song’s for everybody that almost gave up… but didn’t. (Verse 1) I’ve walked roads I wouldn’t wish on anyone Carried weight that felt a thousand tons There were nights I sat alone in the dark Tryin to keep a dying fire in my heart Lost people I thought would never leave Buried pieces of myself in grief But every time I hit that breaking point Somebody helped me keep movin on (Pre-Chorus) A hand on my shoulder A voice in the storm A little bit of hope When mine was gone (Chorus) And I’m still here After all the hell I’ve walked through Still here Through the nights I barely made it through Some battles I fought alone Some roads I didn’t walk on my own Cause love showed up when I needed it most Like light breakin through my fears Yeah after all these years I’m still here (Verse 2) There were strangers who became my friends And broken hearts that helped mine mend A few hard truths I had to learn And bridges I watched forever burn But every scar became a map Every failure brought me back To the people who refused to let me fall When I couldn’t stand at all (Crowd Build) Whoa-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh (Pre-Chorus) Funny how survival ain’t just strength alone Sometimes it’s knowin who to call home (Chorus) And I’m still here Still breathin through the hard years Still here Even after all the pain and tears There were days I lost my way But somebody helped me find the faith And every little kindness through the years Is the reason I’m still here (Bridge stripped emotional moment) To the ones who picked me up When I couldn’t lift my head To the ones who stayed beside me When the rest of the world left To the family, friends, and strangers Who saw somethin worth savin in me This song belongs to you tonight (Build drums and guitars rise) Phoenix!! If you’re still standin after everything life threw at you… I wanna hear you sing this!! (Final Chorus huge emotional payoff) I’m still here! Still stronger than the fear inside me! Still here! Still standin where the dark tried to hide me! Every scar, every loss, every mile, every tear Built the man that’s standin right here And I know I never made it by myself Love carried me through the years That’s why I’m still here! (Outro crowd singing) Still here… Still here… Still here… Thank you Phoenix… Thank you for helpin me survive…
