[Spoken, calm, intimate] I thought I’d never make it through this. Thankfully… I was wrong. Which means.... You can make it too! [Intro] [Spoken, reflective] I know you think you can’t make it through this. I thought that too. [Verse 1] I used to say “there’s no way I survive this” Body breaking down, mind under fire Couldn’t walk straight, couldn’t talk right Doctors said pills, but made it worse every time Moved coast to coast with a car full of hope Thirty places later, still sleeping on the ground Chased out, shut down, told I don’t belong Still listening to something saying “keep going on” I watched the world say “just cope, just comply” But nature kept whispering “you’re not designed to die” So I left the noise, went back to the trees Found truth in the dirt, found breath on my knees [Hook] [Sung, steady, uplifting] I thought I’d never make it through this I was sure I’d fall apart But I’m still standing Stronger than I thought Still standing With a listening heart [Verse 2] I ate weeds, roots, whatever I could grow Built gardens for food when I had nowhere to go Learned fast what I really need Turns out freedom costs less when you’re finally free They taught dependence, I learned to replace Store-bought lies with real-time faith Cleaned my body, cleaned my space Stopped waiting for rescue, picked up my pace Nature don’t quit, the river don’t stall Trees don’t say “I can’t do this at all” They bend, they grow, they get it done Same laws apply to everyone [Hook] [Sung] I thought I’d never make it through this I didn’t trust my own spark But I’m still standing Right where I am Still standing So yes ....................... you can [Bridge] [Spoken, grounded] You don’t cheat nature. You don’t bypass healing. You listen. One step at a time. [Verse 3] Every struggle wasn’t punishment, it was a class Every “enemy” was teaching me my own power back I stopped asking “what do I take?” Started asking “what do I remove to change?” Parasites inside, parasites around Same lesson mirrored when I slowed it down You can’t heal clean living in toxic space You gotta choose yourself ...... that’s the case They’ll turn on you when you stop turning on you They’ll say you’re crazy for following truth But life ain’t meant to be petrified wood It’s meant to be lived ...... raw, real, understood [Final Hook] [Sung, confident, hopeful] I thought I’d never make it through this But look at me now I’m still standing And if I did .............. So can you Right now [Outro] [Spoken, calm] One step. One choice. One truth at a time.
