I Will Stand

[Verse 1]
Shaking hands
Heartbeat drumming in my chest
Every doubt
Pulling at the threads
Tiny voice
Saying “maybe sit this out”
Bigger voice
Roaring
“watch me now”

[Chorus]
I will stand
I will stand
I will stand
When my knees wanna fold
I’ll dig in where I am
I will stand
I will stand
I will stand
Even cracked
Even scared
I’ll rise again

[Verse 2]
Friends fade
When the weather starts to change
Phone cold
But the mirror knows my name
One breath
Draw a line into the ground
Both feet
Plant ‘em
Don’t back down

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[low vocal register] If I fall
I fall forward
Face first into the light
I’ve been training in the silence
Just to show up for this fight
[crescendo] Every scar on my story
Is a flag in my own hands
Raise it high
Say it loud again

[Chorus]
