Still Standing, Still Bright

Verse

Snow melts off my boots on the concrete stair

Steam rising up through the winter air

Broke through the ice on the river bend

Kept walking forward, didn't need to pretend

Streetlights flicker like a heartbeat drum

Every closed door, I still found some

Torn up jacket but I'm standing tall

Nothing left now that can make me fall

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising in your chest

Every scar just proves you passed the test

Something in me finally letting go

Chorus

Still standing, still bright

Dancing under northern light

Feet on fire, heart ignite

Free tonight, still standing, still bright

Every wall I broke to get here

Every year that tried to bury

What's inside won't hide

Still standing, still bright

Verse

Frozen lake behind the pine tree line

Cracked but holding, just like you and I

Borrowed speakers on the harbor dock

Bass line hits like a second clock

Northern wind can't touch this fire

Every step is taking me higher

Salt and snow across the ground

Nothing here can bring me down

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it rising in your chest

Every scar just proves you passed the test

Something in me finally letting go

Chorus

Still standing, still bright

Dancing under northern light

Feet on fire, heart ignite

Free tonight, still standing, still bright

Every wall I broke to get here

Every year that tried to bury

What's inside won't hide

Still standing, still bright

Bridge

I used to count the days I'd break

Now I count the lights I make

This is the sound of getting free

Not who I was, but who I'll be

No more waiting for the sun

This glow is mine, I built my own

Chorus

Still standing, still bright

Dancing under northern light

Feet on fire, heart ignite

Free tonight, still standing, still bright

Every wall I broke to get here

Every year that tried to bury

What's inside won't hide

Still standing, still bright
