“Still Breathing Still Believing”- Caesar Sinatra
[Intro – Acoustic Guitar, Warm Organ, Distant Choir] [Caesar Sinatra – Deep, Raspy Southern Voice, Spoken] Some mornings, getting outta bed’s a victory. Some nights, all you’ve got left is a prayer. But if you’re still here… God ain’t finished with you yet. [Verse 1 – Caesar Sinatra, Country Soul] Mama’s got a Bible by the bedside, Coffee getting cold beside the lamp. Another sleepless night, another sunrise, Another little victory in her hands. She’s been through more than I could ever mention, Still finds a way to smile through the pain. And every time I question heaven’s intentions, She tells me there’s a purpose in the rain. [Pre-Chorus – Caesar Sinatra, Building Emotion] She said, “Son, you can’t control the weather, But you can choose to stand beneath the sky.” And if the road don’t lead to something better, At least we gave it everything tonight. [Chorus – Caesar Sinatra, Huge Country-Soul Hook] [Layered Gospel Harmonies, Live Drums] Still breathing, still believing, Still got a heart that won’t stop beating. Been knocked down, but I ain’t leaving, I ain’t done living, I ain’t done believing. Got a few more scars, got a few more reasons, Held on through a hundred changing seasons. If there’s air in these lungs, there’s meaning, Still breathing… still believing. [Post-Chorus – Crowd Singalong] Oh-oh-oh, I’m still here! (Still here!) Oh-oh-oh, through the tears! (Through the tears!) I ain’t done living, I ain’t done believing! [Verse 2 – Sho Money, Emotional Melodic Hip-Hop] I’ve seen the strongest person that I know Have to fight for something simple as a breath. And every time I hear her say she’s fine, I hear the things she’s keeping to herself. See, I was raised by somebody who gave More than she ever had a chance to save. Now I’m praying for the woman who taught me How to find a little sunshine in the rain. And I ain’t asking God to make it easy, I’m asking Him to help us make it through. ’Cause every time I thought about surrender, I remembered what I learned from you. I got some nights I never talk about, Some prayers I couldn’t find the words to say. But if you’re looking for a reason not to quit, Just look at what it took to get to today. [Chorus – Caesar Sinatra & Sho Money] [Full Band, Gospel Choir] Still breathing, still believing, Still got a heart that won’t stop beating. Been knocked down, but I ain’t leaving, I ain’t done living, I ain’t done believing. Got a few more scars, got a few more reasons, Held on through a hundred changing seasons. If there’s air in these lungs, there’s meaning, Still breathing… still believing. [Bridge – Caesar Sinatra, Stripped Acoustic Guitar] [Raw, Almost Breaking Vocal] If all you’ve got is one more prayer, Send it up, somebody’s listening. If all you’ve got is one more day, Don’t spend it wishing you were missing. [Choir Enters Softly] And when the morning feels so far, Remember darkness has an ending. You don’t have to see the stars To know the sky is still above you. [Final Chorus – Caesar Sinatra Lead, Sho Money Harmonies] [Explosive Gospel Choir, Country Guitars, Hip-Hop Drums] Still breathing, still believing, Still got a heart that won’t stop beating. Been knocked down, but I ain’t leaving, I ain’t done living, I ain’t done believing! Got a few more scars, got a few more reasons, Held on through a hundred changing seasons. If there’s air in these lungs, there’s meaning, Still breathing… STILL BELIEVING! [Outro – Caesar Sinatra, Acoustic Guitar Fades] [Spoken] Mama… This one’s for you. [Soft Sung] Still breathing… Still believing… [End]
