Still Standing
Rising from Shadows: Michael Franti's 'Still Standing' Journey
Lyrics
There was a time just the other day
Reflects a recent past moment
When I was on the ground looking up saying
Feeling downtrodden, seeking help from a higher power
Please God listen to the words I say
Pleading for divine attention
Show me a sign, I want to change my way
Desiring a clear indication to change ways
No more, no waiting, no life to begin
No more delays, ready to start life anew
Gonna start this minute all over again
Willingness to reset everything at that moment
Next train coming my way
Opportunity approaching
I'm gonna jump on it and leave like yesterday
Ready to move on from the past
Leave like yesterday
Reinforcing the desire to leave the past behind
Leave like yesterday
-Leave like yesterday
-Leave like yesterday
-It's been a long long road this way
Acknowledging the challenging journey
But I'm still standing today
Despite difficulties, still enduring
And I don't care what anybody say
Not bothered by others' opinions
'Cause I'm still standing, I'm still standing today
Emphasizing resilience in the face of criticism
Standing, I'm still standing
Reiteration of still standing despite challenges
Standing, I'm still standing
-Standing, I'm still standing
-Still standing today
-Standing, I'm still standing
-Standing, I'm still standing
-Standing, I'm still standing
-Still standing today
-There was a time just the other day
Similar past moment, but with a different outlook
When I was on my feet still looking up saying
Confident while still seeking guidance
Hey God I think I might have found my way
Sensing a potential path forward
I see a sign saying, walk this way
Recognizing a guiding sign
No more, no waiting, no life to begin
Commitment to a fresh start
Gonna start this minute all over again
-Next train coming my way
-I'm gonna jump on it and leave like yesterday
-Leave like yesterday
Repeating the determination to move on
Leave like yesterday
-Leave like yesterday
-It's been a long long road this way
Reaffirming resilience despite challenges and opinions
But I'm still standing today
-And I don't care what anybody say
-'Cause I'm still standing, I'm still standing today
-Standing, I'm still standing
Continued emphasis on resilience and endurance
Standing, I'm still standing
-Standing, I'm still standing
-Still standing today
-Standing, I'm still standing
-Standing, I'm still standing
-Standing, I'm still standing
-Still standing today
-Next train coming my way
Another opportunity to leave the past behind
I'm gonna jump on it and leave like yesterday
-Leave like yesterday
Reiteration of leaving the past
It's been a long long road this way
Consistent commitment to standing strong
But I'm still standing today
-And I don't care what anybody say
-'Cause I'm still standing, I'm still standing today
-Standing, I'm still standing
Repeating the theme of resilience and endurance
Standing, I'm still standing
-Standing, I'm still standing
-Still standing today
-Standing, I'm still standing
-Standing, I'm still standing
-Standing, I'm still standing
-Still standing today
