I'm Standing
By Rossy Lyrics
(Verse 1)
The pavement cracked beneath my tired feet
A thousand miles of bitter and of sweet
I’ve worn the scars like medals on my skin
Learned how to lose to know just how to win
They told me "quiet," told me "play the part"
But there’s a fire burning in my heart
I stopped the hiding, wiped the dust away
And found the words I’m finally brave enough to say.
(Chorus)
I’m standing in the light of what is true
The road was jagged, but I made it through
And every step I take, I know it’s worth the fight
Because she’s watching me, she’s learning how to light
The path ahead, she sees the strength I hold
A story written, daring to be bold
Yeah, I’m standing in my truth, I’m standing tall
Because she’s watching, and I’m showing her it all.
(Verse 2)
The shadows whispered doubts into the night
But I chose morning, I chose to be bright
I’ve built a table where the sisters rise
And seen the future in her steady eyes
It isn't perfect, no, the climb is steep
But promises are ones I mean to keep
I’m breaking patterns, setting spirits free
So she can be whoever she’s meant to be.
(Chorus)
I’m standing in the light of what is true
The road was jagged, but I made it through
And every step I take, I know it’s worth the fight
Because she’s watching me, she’s learning how to light
The path ahead, she sees the strength I hold
A story written, daring to be bold
Yeah, I’m standing in my truth, I’m standing tall
Because she’s watching, and I’m showing her it all.
(Bridge)
It’s not just for me, it’s for the legacy
The quiet power that she’s gonna see
When the world gets loud and the walls close in
She’ll remember how her mother had to win
By being real, by being whole
By never selling out her soul.
(Chorus)
I’m standing in the light of what is true
The road was jagged, but I made it through
And every step I take, I know it’s worth the fight
Because she’s watching me, she’s learning how to light
The path ahead, she sees the strength I hold
A story written, daring to be bold
Yeah, I’m standing in my truth, I’m standing tall
Because she’s watching, and I’m showing her it all.
(Outro)
Yeah, she’s watching.
And she’s ready.
To stand in her own truth.
Just like me.
