🎵 I Still Stand
0:02
Verse 1
0:13
Born in darkness, underground, with no warm words,
0:13
a child of silence, blows and scars, in a home without worth.
0:18
No safe embrace, no gentle hand to hold,
0:27
only shadows and fear, in a world so cruel and cold.
0:33
Verse 2
0:40
I learned to breathe in silence, to hide away,
0:40
for love always came with pain on its way.
0:47
A hand could stroke — but also strike,
0:54
I became invisible, to stay alive, to survive the fight.
1:00
Chorus
1:09
But I still stand, with scars in my soul,
1:09
I bled through the darkness, but I never lost control.
1:16
Inside of me burns a flame, quiet but real,
1:23
the boy who was broken — still lives, still feels.
1:30
Verse 3
1:38
My mother was my keeper, and my first enemy,
1:38
I didn't understand what happened, only that it burned in me.
1:43
A child without childhood, a body without name,
1:49
no one saw, no one asked — I carried all the shame.
1:55
Verse 4
2:05
The foster home brought peace, but I never believed it true,
2:05
I said: "My feelings — you'll never see them through."
2:11
Masks became my armor, my invisible shield,
2:19
against a world I couldn't trust — too cruel to yield.
2:25
Chorus
2:34
But I still stand, with scars in my soul,
2:34
I bled through the darkness, but I never lost control.
2:40
Inside of me burns a flame, quiet but real,
2:48
the boy who was broken — still lives, still feels.
2:54
Bridge
3:02
Where were you, father, when I cried in the night's room?
3:02
When I begged for a hand, but silence became my tomb.
3:08
Yet I found my strength in the son I now call my own,
3:15
he taught me love without fear — I was never alone.
3:20
Verse 5
3:29
I wear my diagnoses like marks on my skin,
3:29
but they don't define me, nor the life I've been in.
3:33
I am not my pain, I am not my fear,
3:37
I'm a human being, still standing here.
3:40
Final Chorus
3:46
Yes, I still stand, with scars in my soul,
3:48
I've battled the night, I've made myself whole.
3:55
Inside of me shines a spark, brighter than before,
4:02
the little boy survived — he lives, he soars.For there is light, even in the darkest room,
4:09
I was broken, but I breathe — I bloomed.
4:23
Out of the shadows, from silence and pain,
4:29
I stand here now — human again.
4:36
