Standing My Ground

(album: Manifestations - 2022)

I will stand my ground

Falling through a fire that I knew I lit
Walking on wire from which that I have slipped
Crawling from the cracks from where I've been
Rising from the ashes that I'm lying in

Lying in
I will rise again

It's not the end of everything
I'll breathe again
I will stand, up again
And I'll be standing my ground
I've had a taste of my mistakes
I can't erase
But I can stand up again
This time I'm standing my ground

Forgive myself for all the flaws that I once had
I can't forget that I am only human
Every point of pressure pushing down on me
Now every doubt is dying that you will see
I'm stepping through another doorway
To leave this hell where I have been
I'll dig myself out of this again
To fill my lungs with oxygen

Oxygen-gen-gen
Oxygen-gen-gen
Fill my lungs again

It's not the end of everything
I'll breathe again
I will stand, up again
And I'll be standing my ground
I've had a taste of my mistakes
I can't erase
But I can stand up again
This time I'm standing my ground

I will stand my ground
I will stand my ground

It's not the end of everything
I'll breathe again
I will stand, up again
And I'll be standing my ground
I've had a taste of my mistakes
I can't erase
But I can stand up again
This time I'm standing my ground

Stand up!
Stand up!
Stand up!
This time I'm standing my ground
Stand up!
Stand up!
I will stand my ground
