Still Standing

Hm

I don't break when the storms come down
Been through hell, but stand my ground
Ain't no man gonna take my place
I wear these scars on like a badge of faith

Let them talk, I've heard it all
Build my life from every fall
Got dirt and sweat in my veins
That's just proof I earned my name

I've been lost and I've been found
Torn apart, but never down
Had my faith when times got tough
When the roads got cold and rough

Don't need respect or sympathy
The good Lord made me how I should be
Say what you want, it won't change me
I'm still standing proud and free

I've seen friends turn their back
Watched good hearts fade to black
But I kept walking, head held high
Ain't no tear I ain't let dry

I don't run, I face my fight
Work all day and sleep at night
Ain't no rule I gotta obey
I live and die my kinda way

I've been lost and I've been found
Torn apart, but never down
Had my faith when times got tough
When the roads was cold and rough

Don't need respect or sympathy
The good Lord made me how I should be
Say what you want, it won't change me
I'm still standing proud and free

If I fall, I'll stand again
Take my punches on the chin
Ain't built to beg or bend
I'll fight my fight until the end

They can hate, I'll take my peace
Live my life the way I please
I'm still the man I'm meant to be
Ain't no shame in being me

I've been lost and I've been found
Torn apart, but never down
Had my faith when times got tough
When the road was cold and rough

Don't need respect or sympathy
The good Lord made me how I should be
Say what you want, it don't change me
I'm still standing proud and free

Mm
