"Stand Tall"

I’m standing tall,

Feet planted on the ground,

I’ve been knocked down,

But I won’t stay down.

I’ve been through storms,

I’ve felt the rain,

But I’m still here,

And I’ve got no shame.

You can try to break me,

But I won’t bend,

I rise again,

Again, and again.

I’ve walked through fire,

And I've learned to fly,

I keep pushing forward,

Reaching for the sky.

They told me I couldn’t,

They said I’d fail,

But I’m still standing,

I will not pale.

I carry my story,

It’s written in scars,

But they shine like stars,

In the dark,

I know who I am—

I’m a force,

A fire,

And no one can put me out.

So when you see me,

Don’t look away,

‘Cause I’m standing tall—

I’m here to stay.
