It’s still beating… Even after everything… And it’s getting stronger. Bones feel heavy, lungs filled with dust Every step reminds me who I’ve lost The silence tries to swallow me whole But underneath it all… I hear you call Tired veins, fractured frame Still this rhythm calls my name Still beating… still rising… Through the wreckage, through the night Still beating… still fighting… Turning darkness into light Even when the hope runs low Even when the cold winds blow I hear it… strong and incomplete My heart is still beating Scars remember every fall I’ve taken But they also show how much I’ve awakened The world keeps spinning, sometimes cold and blind But this stubborn heart refuses to resign Broken, bruised, battle-worn Still the fire inside is born Still beating… still rising… Through the silence, through the pain Still beating… still fighting… We will rise from our remains Even when the storm is near Even when I’ve shed my tears I hear it… loud and full of fire My heart is still beating How many times can something break… Before it learns it’s unbreakable? How many times can a heart ache… And still choose to love again? We are not built to last forever But we are built to rise again Every wound, every endeavor Leads us closer to who we can become STILL BEATING! STILL BREATHING! THROUGH THE DARK! THROUGH THE GRIEVING! STILL BEATING! Still beating… still rising! Louder now than yesterday Still beating… still fighting! I will not fade away Let the whole world shake and bend I will stand until the end I will take these broken pieces And build a new tomorrow… It’s still beating… Stronger than before… It’s still beating… And so am I.
