Stand Your Ground

[Verse 1] Woke up with a restless mind, sunlight on my face

Questions in the mirror I can’t quite erase

Dreams I used to chase seem farther every year

But courage starts with showing up right here

[Pre-Chorus] Every word they tell you, every line they draw

You can rise above it, don’t let their fear be law

[Chorus] Stand up tall, don’t turn around

Life will try to knock you down

Through the fire, hold your ground

You’re stronger than you know now

[Post-Chorus] Oh oh oh oh

Stand your ground

Oh oh oh oh

[Verse 2] Falling feels like breaking, but you learn each time

Mistakes become the story you rewrite

Bravery’s not easy, it’s a silent vow

To show up for yourself when no one’s around

[Pre-Chorus] Every scar you carry is a lesson earned

Take another breath, let the tables turn

[Chorus] Stand up tall, don’t turn around

Life will try to knock you down

Through the fire, hold your ground

You’re stronger than you know now

[Post-Chorus] Oh oh oh oh

Stand your ground

Oh oh oh oh

[Bridge] My father never told me how the fear would feel

Standing at the edge of everything that's real

But I am not a man who runs from what he's owed

I am learning how to carry my own load

[Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Called my mother Sunday, told her I'm alright

Voice a little shaky but I held it tight

Some days I'm a stranger in my father's shoes

Some days I'm the man I always meant to choose

[Pre-Chorus] Every door they closed just taught me how to knock

Every time I fell I learned to stand and walk

[Chorus] Stand up tall, don't turn around

Life will try to knock you down

Through the fire, hold your ground

You're stronger than you know now

[Post-Chorus] Oh oh oh oh

Stand your ground

Oh oh oh oh

Stand your ground

[Final Chorus] Stand up tall, don't turn around

Life will try to knock you down

Through the fire, hold your ground

You're stronger than you know now

You're stronger than you know now

[Outro] Oh oh oh oh

Stand your ground

Oh oh oh oh

Stand your ground

(Stand your ground)

Oh oh oh oh

Stand your ground
