Gold (Stand Tall) [SSC8, Netherlands]

[Intro] Mm—mm… I used to turn the volume down Not anymore [Verse 1] I used to shrink when the lights came on Laugh it off, keep it moving on Stay polite, never stay too long Like taking space was wrong Hands in sleeves, eyes on the floor Second guess what I’m speaking for But something kept knocking at the door Saying, “You’re made for more” I was hiding in plain sight Waiting for my own green light [Pre-Chorus] Hands up — I’m done playing small Heart wide — I’m ready to fall If I fall, I fall through it all I won’t stall, I won’t crawl Stand tall… stand tall… Hear that sound? That’s my revival Feel that drum? That’s survival Say it loud — it’s undeniable [Chorus] I’m right here, I’m standing clear No weight on my chest, no living in fear We go up, we rise, we make it real here Rise up, rise up From worn-out pages, I rewrote the story Found my voice in the middle of the worry I was unsure — now I’m steady Look at me now— I don’t step down— I wear my name like a crown [Post-Chorus] Gold in my blood, I feel it rush Feel it rush Breath in my lungs, I won’t hush Won’t hush We don’t bend, we don’t fold We were born brave, not told Say my name — it hits like gold [Verse 2] I kept track of the nights I stayed Smiled through what I couldn’t say Every “no” they threw my way Built the strength I have today Now I walk like I own my name No more small, no more tame Turn that doubt into forward motion Step by step — I changed If the sky needs a reason why I’m the one who learned to try [Pre-Chorus 2] Hands up — I’m done playing small Stand tall — I survived it all If I fall, I break the wall I don’t crawl — I evolve Stand tall… stand tall… Hear that choir getting louder Feel my heartbeat getting prouder Say it twice — I believe it [Bridge] I lost my voice in the noise, I admit it Tell it Learned my worth when nobody said it Say it Now every scar has a reason Every closed door had a season Take my doubt — Lay it down — Wash it clean in holy water I’m not asking for space I’m creating my place Watch the whole room change [Final Chorus] I’m right here, I’m standing clear No weight on my chest, no living in fear We go up, we rise, we make it real here Rise up, rise up From worn-out pages, I rewrote the story Found my voice in the middle of the worry I was unsure — now I’m steady Higher, higher— Stronger, stronger— I wear my name like a crown [Outro] Gold in my blood… I feel it rush Feel it -+-+-+-+- Lyrics and Cover ©2026 MiMa.
