[Verse 1] You brought a bargain dressed in gold A softer truth for me to hold I felt the pressure at the door But I know what I’m standing for [Pre-Chorus] Let the easy answer fade I won’t trade the choice I made [Chorus] I stand alone, I stand complete No borrowed fire beneath my feet Say what you want, I won’t retreat I choose the truth, I choose the beat [Instrumental Drop] [Verse 2] The room went quiet, faces turned Some bridges fell, some lessons burned I kept my name, I kept my word That was the loudest thing they heard [Pre-Chorus] No permission, no disguise I see the future in my eyes [Chorus] I stand alone, I stand complete No borrowed fire beneath my feet Say what you want, I won’t retreat I choose the truth, I choose the beat [Extended Synth Lead] [Bridge] If I’m the only voice tonight I’ll make it ring, I’ll make it bright The road is mine, the heart is clear I crossed the line and lost the fear [Final Chorus] I stand alone, I stand complete No borrowed fire beneath my feet Say what you want, I won’t retreat I choose the truth, I choose the beat [Instrumental Drop] [Outro] Still standing, still alive No compromise, I rise, I rise Still standing, still alive I choose the truth, I choose the beat
