(Ad-libs: “Mmm yeah… still here…”) ⸻ Verse 1 I remember those nights you’d hold my hand, Tell me “don’t quit when you don’t understand.” Now I hear your voice when I face the rain, “Joy gonna come after every pain.” I was broken down, felt all alone, But faith built a house where hope made home. Every tear I cried was a seed You saw grow, Now I walk in strength I didn’t know. (Ad-libs: “Didn’t know, didn’t know…”) ⸻ Chorus – (Choir + Full Band) 🎶 I’m still standing, still breathing, Still trusting God through every season. Mama’s words still ring in my mind, “You gon’ shine, baby, in God’s time.” I made it through the storm and the cryin’, Thought I was done but I’m still survivin’. If you see me smilin’, it’s His hand in mine, I’m still standing—by design. 🎶 (Background harmonies: “Still standing… by design…”) ⸻ Verse 2 Used to hate mornings, didn’t wanna rise, Now I thank God for open eyes. Supervisors still talk, same routine, But peace inside makes my spirit clean. What I lost, He turn to gold, What was broken, He made whole. You in heaven, Mama, smilin’ wide, Sayin’, “Look at my baby—she still got pride.” (Ad-libs: “Yeah… still got pride…”) ⸻ Chorus (Repeat – Stronger) 🎶 I’m still standing, still breathing, Still trusting God through every season. Mama’s words still ring in my mind, “You gon’ shine, baby, in God’s time.” I made it through the storm and the cryin’, Thought I was done but I’m still survivin’. If you see me smilin’, it’s His hand in mine, I’m still standing—by design. 🎶 ⸻ Bridge – (Gospel R&B Lift) 🎶 When I couldn’t stand, You held me up, When I lost hope, You filled my cup. Grace don’t run out, love don’t fade, Mercy show up every day. 🎶 (Ad-libs: “Every day! Every day!”) ⸻ Rap Section (Optional – Modern Gospel Flow) 🎙️ Yeah, tears in mi eyes but strength in mi spine, Lost my queen but her legacy mine. Faith in mi soul like a heartbeat rhythm, God took the pain and gave me vision. No more shadows, sunrise come, Mama say “child, you already won.” Now mi walk bold through every trial, Still standing—still God’s child. (Choir chants under: “Still God’s child! Still God’s child!”) ⸻ Final Chorus – (Modulation + Choir Explosion) 🎶 I’m still standing, still breathing, Still trusting God through every season. Mama’s words still ring in my mind, “You gon’ shine, baby, in God’s time.” I made it through the storm and the cryin’, Thought I was done but I’m still survivin’. If you see me smilin’, it’s His hand in mine, I’m still standing—by design. 🎶 (Ad-libs: “By design! By His design!”) ⸻ Outro – (piano + soft organ) (Spoken, emotional) Mama, you taught me faith ain’t pretty—it’s power. And though I miss you every hour, I hear you say, “Keep standing, baby… keep standing.” (Choir hums out: “Still standing… still standing…”)
