[Verse 1] I took the hit, I took the fall My back was pressed against the wall Mud on my boots, blood in my grin I learned the hard way how to begin [Pre-Chorus] You thought I'd fold, thought I'd break Thought my hands would start to shake But I kept one foot on the ground I heard that storm, I turned it down [Chorus] Still standing Still standing You can't take this heart away Still standing Still standing I rise up every day [Verse 2] Names on the door, marks on the frame Days got heavy, nights felt the same I lost some sleep, I lost some pride But I kept that flame alive inside [Pre-Chorus] You thought I'd fold, thought I'd break Thought my hands would start to shake But I kept one foot on the ground I heard that storm, I turned it down [Chorus] Still standing Still standing You can't take this heart away Still standing Still standing I rise up every day [Bridge] Let the wind come Let it scream I got scars They prove I mean Every line Every bruise I am not What I lose [Final Chorus] Still standing Still standing You can't take this heart away Still standing Still standing I rise up every day Still standing Still standing And I won't back down again
