Intro (Soft piano, distant acoustic guitar) Some people wake to another day... I wake to another battle. This isn't about getting high... It's about getting through. Verse 1 I never dreamed I'd live this way Counting pain instead of days Trading uniforms for walking sticks Learning life through different scripts Every scar became a teacher Every setback drew the map Till a plant became the reason I could slowly find my path Pre-Chorus People only see the smoke... They don't see the fire beneath. They smell the herb... But they never feel the pain. Chorus I'm stoned enough to stand Not chasing highs, just chasing life Trying to be the dad, the grandad, friend Who still survives the night If this is what it takes To put some strength back in these hands Judge me if you need to... I'm just stoned enough to stand. Verse 2 I worked with broken children While I was breaking too Held the line through chaos Like I always knew to do Every child deserved somebody Who believed they still could shine Now I miss that sense of purpose That once gave meaning to mine Pre-Chorus Different isn't less than... Different isn't weak. Sometimes surviving quietly Is the bravest thing we speak. Chorus I'm stoned enough to stand Not chasing highs, just chasing life Trying to be the dad, the grandad, friend Who still survives the night If this is what it takes To put some strength back in these hands Judge me if you need to... I'm just stoned enough to stand. Bridge I don't want another tablet To bury who I am I've walked that road through years of fog And barely knew the man Give me forests after rainfall Give me rivers running free Let the earth remind this broken soul Of who I'm meant to be Sunlight through the branches Bare feet on the ground Healing isn't always something That medicine has found Breakdown (Music strips back to piano) I'm differently abled... Not differently worthy. Still a father... Still a grandad... Still a friend... Still me. Final Chorus I'm stoned enough to stand Not hiding from the world outside Just finding one more way each day To keep a dream alive One foot after another With the earth beneath my hands I may not be who I once was... But I'm still becoming who I am. I'm stoned enough to stand Not because I gave up... Because I refused to. Outro If tomorrow hurts... I'll face it again. If nature keeps teaching... I'll keep learning. And if all I can do today Is stand... Then today... Standing... Is enough.
