Still Standing Strong Verse 1 I was raised in a storm, thunder shaking my ground, Tried to find some shelter but none could be found. Mama did her best, but the pain ran deep, I learned too young the kind of secrets you keep. By eleven years old, I was running from the truth, Bottle in my hand, throwing away my youth. The world tried to break me, said I wouldn’t last long, But I kept on fighting, and I’m still standing strong. Chorus Now I’m sober, two years clean, Building back the man I’m meant to be. Got three little faces counting on me at home, I may have been broken, but I ain’t alone. Through the fire and the flood, all the right from the wrong, I’m still standing strong. Verse 2 One night on the highway, metal twisted like steel, The c***h could’ve ended me, but somehow I healed. I woke up to a sunrise I thought I’d never see, Felt the good Lord whisper, ā€œSon, this ain’t the end of me.ā€ I traded in the bottle for a brand-new chance, Learned to walk again, learned how to stand. Every scar I carry is a verse in my song, Proof I hit the bottom, but I still belong. Chorus Now I’m sober, two years clean, Building back the man I’m meant to be. Got three little faces counting on me at home, I may have been broken, but I ain’t alone. Through the fire and the flood, all the right from the wrong, I’m still standing strong. Verse 3 Now I’m working the grill, just a man in an apron, But my dreams go further than the checks I’m making. I see a business rising from these calloused hands, Turning pain into purpose, got a bigger plan. My kids are my reason, they keep me alive, Every laugh, every hug gives me strength to survive. I ain’t who I was, I’ve been changing so long, The devil lost his grip—now I’m where I belong. Bridge I thank God for mercy, I thank Him for grace, For pulling me up from a darker place. I ain’t who I was, I’m a brand-new song, The devil had me once, but he held me too long. Now I walk in faith, and I carry that flame, My children’s eyes remind me why I changed. Final Chorus Now I’m sober, two years clean, Building back the man I’m meant to be. Got three little faces counting on me at home, I may have been broken, but I ain’t alone. Through the fire and the flood, all the right from the wrong, Yeah, I’m still standing strong… I’m still standing strong. Outro From the wreckage to redemption, From the night into the dawn… By the grace of God’s mercy, I’m still standing strong.
