[Intro: instrumental, extended atmospheric build] [Verse 1] I learned to read the weather by the salt on the rail, Old coat, cold hands, still I followed the trail. You kept a place for me when I couldn't see the door, Put my feet on solid ground, gave me reason for more. Every season took a piece, every year left a mark, You stayed beside me when the road went dark. I don't call it easy, I just know what is true: When I ran out of strength, I was carried by You. [Pre-Chorus] Through the rise, through the fall, You were there through it all. When the tide pulled me under, You brought me back to shore. [Chorus] I’m still here, I’m still standing, Built from the days I thought I couldn’t survive. Hands I never saw kept reaching, Pulled me from the water and returned me to life. I’m still here, say it louder, Every hard mile put a fire in my chest. When the whole world breaks around me, I can lean on the love that has carried me this far. [Verse 2] The block wakes slow, shutters rattle in the wind, I count what I lost, then I count who stayed in. A promise in the ground, in the harvest and frost, In the day coming back when the long night is crossed. I have worn my fear like a name on my sleeve, Had to let it go before I learned to believe. You were there in the ordinary, steady and near, In the small kept word that outlasted the fear. [Pre-Chorus] Through the rise, through the fall, You were there through it all. When the tide pulled me under, You brought me back to shore. [Chorus] I’m still here, I’m still standing, Built from the days I thought I couldn’t survive. Hands I never saw kept reaching, Pulled me from the water and returned me to life. I’m still here, say it louder, Every hard mile put a fire in my chest. When the whole world breaks around me, I can lean on the love that has carried me this far. [Bridge] If the ground shakes, I won’t run alone. If the night takes the road, I know my way home. All those years I thought hope had gone, Love kept the door open, held the morning on. I was bent, I was bruised, I was close to the edge, Still a hand reached through and kept its promise. [Final Chorus] I’m still here, I’m still standing, Built from the days I thought I couldn’t survive. Hands I never saw kept reaching, Pulled me from the water and returned me to life. I’m still here, let the whole room answer, Every hard mile put a fire in my chest. When the whole world breaks around me, I can lean on the love that has carried me this far. Still here! Still standing! You carried me this far! [Outro] I’ll keep walking with an open hand, Leave a little kindness where I stand. Step by step, let the good come through— I’m still here, and I made it with You.
