stand tall

stand tall

(I'll stand tall)
They tried to break me, tear me down
Said I'd never make it out of this town (stand tall)
I carried all their doubts like stones
Till my back was breaking, I felt alone
But every scar became my skin
Every loss taught me how to win
I'm still here, I'm still alive
And I'm done letting fear decide

I've been through the fire, I've been through the rain
I've fallen apart, but I've learned from the pain
Now I'm stronger than I've ever been
And I won't let them pull me in

I'll stand tall, don't you ever bow
You've come too far to give up now
Hold your ground when the storm rolls in
Let the world see you won't give in
Stand tall, don't let them break your heart
Every ending's just a brand new start
You've got the power through it all
So stand tall

I'll stand tall
I'll stand tall

I've been told I should know my place
But I'm done living in that space
No more shrinking to make them proud
I'll be my voice, I'll be too loud
They can't chain what they can't control
They can't dim a burning soul
I'll rise again, I'll light the sky
And I won't let this fire die

I've been through the fire, I've been through the rain
I've fallen apart, but I've learned from the pain
Now I'm stronger than I've ever been
And I won't let them pull me in

I'll stand tall, don't you ever bow
You've come too far to give up now
Hold your ground when the storm rolls in
Let the world see you won't give in
Stand tall, don't let them break your heart
Every ending's just a brand new start
You've got the power through it all
So stand tall

I'll stand tall
I'll stand tall

(I'll stand tall)
Even when your knees shake (I'll stand tall)
Even when your heart aches (I'll stand tall)
You can't let them see you fall
'Cause you're stronger through it all

I'll stand tall
I'll stand tall

Yeah, I'll stand tall, don't you ever bow (stand tall)
You've come too far to give up now
Hold your ground when the storm rolls in
Let the world see you won't give in
Stand tall, don't let them break your heart
Every ending's just a brand new start
You've got the power through it all
So stand tall

I'll stand tall
I'll stand tall
I'll stand tall
I'll stand tall
