Holdin' Up the Sky

[Verse 1] I’ve been patchin’ all the pieces, keepin’ storms off of our door, Tryin’ to be the calm in chaos when the world wants somethin’ more. I’ve been carryin’ every burden, every fear he couldn’t say, But I never let it break me, just learned how to bend and pray. [Pre‑Chorus] Some nights I’m tired of fightin’, But I still stand in the light… ’Cause love don’t quit when life gets hard, It learns how to survive. [Chorus] I’ve been holdin’ up the sky when it feels like it’s fallin’, Keepin’ all the pieces steady when the darkness comes callin’. I’m the quiet kind of strong that they never recognize, But I’m still here, still standin’, still holdin’ up the sky. [Verse 2] I’ve been the one behind the curtain, keepin’ everything in line, Wipin’ tears he never saw and sayin’ “baby, we’ll be fine.” I’ve been bruised by all the battles, but I never lost my flame, ’Cause a woman built from wildfire don’t ever stay the same. [Pre‑Chorus] I don’t need a crown or credit, Just a moment to exhale… But even when my knees get weak, My heart refuses to fail. [Chorus] I’ve been holdin’ up the sky when it feels like it’s fallin’, Keepin’ all the pieces steady when the darkness comes callin’. I’m the quiet kind of strong that they never recognize, But I’m still here, still standin’, still holdin’ up the sky. [Break] Maybe someday they’ll see me, See the fire in my hands… See the woman who kept goin’ When the world said she can’t. But I ain’t waitin’ for their praise, I’ve got mountains in my chest… And I’ll keep liftin’ up this life ’Til the day I get to rest. [Final Chorus] I’ve been holdin’ up the sky when it feels like it’s fallin’, Keepin’ all the pieces steady when the darkness comes callin’. I’m the quiet kind of strong that they never recognize, But I’m still here, still standin’, still holdin’ up the sky.
