[Intro] For my son... I keep standing... [Verse 1] I was just a little girl when dad walked away Saw mama cryin', had no words to say Then came a man who brought fear in our home Learned to be quiet, learned to be alone [Verse 2] Grew up thinkin' love had to hurt Chose the wrong ones, put my heart in dirt 15 years with a man who broke my soul Took my light, tried to take control But from that pain came something bright A little boy with brown eyes, my light [HOOK] I was broken, I was bruised, I was lost in fear Years of tears no one could hear But I got a reason that keeps me alive My baby boy, for you I survive For you I stand when I wanna fall You are my strength through it all [Verse 3] Small family, not many of us at all No crowd to catch me when I fall Mama got cancer, thought I'd lose her too But she is strong, she fought it through Then grandpa died, and that hit so hard He was my safe place, my loving heart The only good man I ever knew I miss him every day, still miss you [Bridge] If you can hear me, grandpa, up in the sky I hope you're proud of who I am tonight I miss you every day, still in my heart You were the purest love I ever had [FINAL HOOK] I WAS BROKEN BUT I'M STILL STANDING ALL THAT PAIN BUT I'M STILL STANDING FOR MY SON WITH THE BROWN EYES, FOR MY MAMA FOR THE LITTLE GIRL I WAS FOR MY GRANDPA WATCHING OVER US I'M STILL STANDING... ...for my son, I keep standing... [Outro] This one's for you, mama... for you, grandpa... for you, my boy...
