Still standing, still dancing, still here
[Intro - Building the Groove] (kick, bass, guitars, strings swell, congas, brass stabs) [Verse 1] (joyful, confident) Thought I wouldn't make it to the other side Thought the weight would crush me, thought I'd lost the fight But here I am, sunrise on my face Still breathing, still moving, still taking up space Every scar's a story, every bruise a win I'm not the same but I'm here again Dancing on the rubble of what tried to break me down I'm still standing, look at me now (strings building) [Pre-Chorus] (building energy) They said I wouldn't make it But I'm here, I'm here They tried to break me But I'm still here (brass hits) [Chorus - THE HOOK] (celebratory, huge) Still standing, still dancing, still here! Survived the storm, now I'm in the clear Still standing, still breathing, alive! Made it through the darkness to the other side (strings soaring) STILL STANDING! (still standing!) STILL DANCING! (still dancing!) STILL HERE! (still here!) And I'm not going anywhere (Afrobeat guitars polyrhythmic) (brass celebrating) [Verse 2] (warm, triumphant) Lost count of the times I thought this was the end Didn't think I'd see tomorrow, didn't think I'd mend But resilience is a rhythm that my body knows Even when I stumble, I get up and go Every morning that I wake up is a victory lap Every step I take is taking something back From whatever tried to bury me beneath the ground I'm still standing, hear that sound? (bass grooving) (percussion building) [Pre-Chorus] (higher energy) They wrote me off But I'm here, I'm here Against the odds I'm still here [Chorus - THE HOOK] (maximum celebration) Still standing, still dancing, still here! Survived the storm, now I'm in the clear Still standing, still breathing, alive! Made it through the darkness to the other side STILL STANDING! (still standing!) STILL DANCING! (still dancing!) STILL HERE! (still here!) And I'm not going anywhere (extended instrumental celebration) (strings and brass trading) [Bridge] (sung, powerful) Some days I barely made it through Some nights I didn't think I would But I'm not defined by what I survived I'm defined by how I'm dancing now (building) Look at me move Look at me shine Look at me here Against all the odds Still alive (brass building) (strings soaring) [Final Chorus - Peak Energy] (all elements, victorious) STILL STANDING, STILL DANCING, STILL HERE! Survived the storm, now I'm in the clear STILL STANDING, STILL BREATHING, ALIVE! Made it through the darkness to the other side (extended celebration) STILL STANDING! (I'm still standing!) STILL DANCING! (keep on dancing!) STILL HERE! (yeah I'm here!) And I'm not going anywhere, NO! (call and response) I'm still here! (STILL HERE!) I'm alive! (ALIVE!) I survived! (SURVIVED!) And I'm dancing tonight! [Outro - Victory Lap] (instrumental groove celebrating) (strings triumphant) (brass victorious) (percussion joyful) (everyone celebrating survival) (fade but energy remains) (final brass stab - triumph) [End]
