She stands tall
By Michelle Butler
She wakes up smiling in her sunlit London flat,
No more hiding tears behind the rain on the glass.
The girl who once ran from the shouting and the pain,
Now dances in the kitchen like she’s got the world to gain.
Her roots run deep, but they lift her, don’t weigh her down,
She’s turned every scar into a crown.
She’s a confident woman, life don’t get her down,
She walks through the fire and comes out shining now.
Storms may roll in, but she just laughs at the rain,
Turns every setback into her next big gain.
Head high, heart open, soul on fire,
She’s the woman who rose from the ashes higher.
No more lost, no more shy, no more small—
She stands tall, yeah she stands tall.
She’s faced the bottles, the divorce, the lonely nights alone,
Sixteen with a suitcase, now she’s building her own throne.
Work days in the city, evenings painting her dreams,
She says “no” when she needs to, chases what truly gleams.
People come and go, but she knows her own worth,
Doesn’t chase the approval of this noisy earth.
She’s a confident woman, life don’t get her down,
She rides every wave and still wears the crown.
Heartbreaks taught her lessons, failures made her wise,
Now she looks the darkness straight between the eyes.
Bold and unafraid, fierce but soft and kind,
She carries her own sunshine every time.
No more lost, no more shy, no more small—
She stands tall, yeah she stands tall.
To the quiet girl who whispered “I wish I could be…”
Look at you now — you finally set yourself free.
No ghosts can touch her, no past can hold her back,
She’s written her own rules and she’s loving the track.
Let the world keep spinning, let it throw its best,
She’ll catch it, flip it, turn it into her success.
She’s a confident woman, life don’t get her down,
Ten million London lights can’t dim this glow she’s found.
From the shore where she wandered to the woman she became,
She turned every “I can’t” into her middle name.
Head high, heart open, soul forever wild and free,
This is the woman she was always meant to be.
No more lost, no more shy — watch her rise and watch her fly,
She stands tall… under any sky.
Yeah she stands tall…
Confident woman, never backing down at all.
She stands tall.
