[Verse 1] I watched the day go by Like water through my hands Old mistakes in the glass New mercy in the sand I learned the ache can teach I learned the silence speaks Every scar on my skin Still led me to my feet [Pre-Chorus] And when the road got long I heard a hidden song It said, "keep going on" It said, "keep going on" [Chorus] I am still here I am still here Beneath the tears Beneath the years I am still here I am still here A little more clear A little more near [Verse 2] Names I held close drifted Like lanterns in the rain Some doors closed behind me Some opened me again I once called loss a wall Now I call it a gate What I could not carry I learned to set down, weight by weight [Pre-Chorus] And when the night was long I heard that hidden song It said, "keep going on" It said, "keep going on" [Chorus] I am still here I am still here Beneath the tears Beneath the years I am still here I am still here A little more clear A little more near [Bridge] If I was made of dust Then let me learn to shine If I was made of breaks Then let me leave them kind I am not who I was But I am not lost I found a quiet flame In everything I thought was lost [Final Chorus] I am still here I am still here Beneath the tears Beneath the years I am still here I am still here A little more clear A little more near I am still here I am still here And all I held dear Turns softly to light
