Male vocalist, warm and gritty, soulful [Verse 1] [soft, intimate, just piano] Long night, longer than the ones before Caught me sittin' on the kitchen floor But the sun don't ask nobody if it's time It just climbs — so I climb [Pre-Chorus] [building] They swore the hard ones never bend They ain't ever met a fire that learned to mend [Chorus] [full, anthemic] I was carved from rock, then I learned to move like water Every crack the light slipped through is how I let it in Knock me down, watch me come back up here harder Still here (still here), still standing where I been [Verse 2] [groove kicks in] Made my whole life out of second tries Every scar's a song I recognize I don't run from the dark, I let it teach Then I write my way back into the reach [Pre-Chorus] [building] They swore the soft ones never last But soft is just a strong that's holdin' fast [Chorus] [full, anthemic] I was carved from rock, then I learned to move like water Every crack the light slipped through is how I let it in Knock me down, watch me come back up here harder Still here (still here), still standing where I been [Bridge] [stripped back, raw] And if I break — I break like morning breaks Into a million pieces of the day And every piece is gold (every piece is gold) That's the only truth I hold [Chorus] [biggest, gospel lift] I was carved from rock, then I learned to move like water Every crack the light slipped through is how I let it in Knock me down, watch me come back up here HARDER Still here (still here), still standing where I been [Outro] [soft, fading] Still here... still here... The morning came and so did I Still here [End]
