Still Here
You wear your stories like tattoos on your skin
Each one a beginning, each one an end
You sit alone in the dark and trace the outlines
Hating some, wishing to go back in time
You remember the nights you chose fear over truth,
Words left unsaid, doors you closed in your youth
You replay the moments you wish you’d undone,
The battles you lost, the races you’d run
But morning has a way of finding your face,
Of softening edges regret couldn’t erase
You breathe in the proof you survived every scar
You’re still here, still standing, stronger than you are
So loosen your grip on the ghosts that remain,
There’s love in the waiting, there’s joy after pain
The past doesn’t own you, it’s only a part
Life goes on calling, hope inside your heart
My God, My Music, My Life
