[Intro] [Verse 1] A baby boy crying in the August heat Two families merging on my side of the street Her and my step-son moving into my space Learning the rhythm and finding our pace Remembering the words that my step-dad said "True beauty is the way that she holds her head" A skinny or a curvy, it’s the soul that shines I kept that lesson right between the lines! [Pre-Chorus 1] Grew up with no father, I built my own frame! A right-wing geek playing a different game! I know where I stand, I know what I like Riding the thunder and holding the spike! [Chorus] So who am I? Exactly who I need to be! A solid anchor in a chaotic sea! Between the heavy heart and the conservative mind I’m leaving the questions and the shadows behind! Building my truth with a heavy hand! I finally know exactly where I stand! [Verse 2] Three years together, then the walls came down A massive fight echoing through the town A whole year apart, a whole year of rain Before I realized I couldn't numb the pain So I packed up my life, swallowed my pride Moved to her region to stay by her side! We pieced it back together, stronger than before A bonded family walking through the door! [Pre-Chorus 2] Yeah, I grew up with no father, I built my own frame! Couldn't leave my own son to the very same game! Despite all the clashes, I knew who I loved, Holding my ground when push came to shove! [Chorus] So who am I? Exactly who I need to be! A solid anchor in a chaotic sea! Between the heavy heart and the conservative mind I’m leaving the questions and the shadows behind! Building my truth with a heavy hand! I finally know exactly where I stand! [Bridge] My mother watched her weight, counted every pound... But I married a goddess, heavy and profound. The political voices talk tough on the size But I don't give a damn about their narrow eyes! I take what is mine! I protect what I love! The fist in the dirt and the eagle above! Contradictions? No, it's just who I am! A heavy foundation, a human ram! I FOUND MY BALANCE, I FOUND MY CORE! I'M NOT WANDERING ANYMORE! [Chorus] So who am I? Exactly who I need to be! A solid anchor in a chaotic sea! Between the heavy heart and the conservative mind I’m leaving the questions and the shadows behind! Building my truth with a heavy hand! I finally know exactly where I stand! [Outro] Exactly where I stand! Between the lines! I found my place.
