[Intro – stripped, echo-heavy falsetto] Umm umm ahh… huh whoo woo… Yeah yeah, I’m still here, mmm Try to break me, but look at me now… ⸻ [Verse 1 – mid-high range, soft build with riffs layered] I took the fall, hit the ground Cried in silence, no one around But I rose like the morning sound Now my feet never leave this ground (Ad-libs: “You thought I’d fold — no no”) You, you, you — umm umm ahh Tried to dim my flame too soon But I shine like a midnight moon Healed every scar in this room *(Run: “Whoo woo — uh huh yee yee”) ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – lift to high falsetto, layered harmony] Storms came, but I danced in the rain Left with nothin’, but I still remain No more chains, no more shame I’m fire in a new flame (Run: “Umm umm ahh… huh whoo woo yee yee”) (Ad-lib: “You can’t stop me now”) ⸻ [Chorus – strong vocals with big vocal runs + ad-libs] I’m still standin’ — umm umm ahh Huh whoo woo — through it all — yee yee They tried to knock me down — uh huh uh huh But I rose up tall — umm umm ahh Still got fire in my soul — whoo woo — yee yee I’m still standin’, unbreakable *(Ad-libs: “Ohhh yeah — I’m stronger now”) *(Melisma: “Standiiiiiin’ yee yee yee”) ⸻ [Verse 2 – rhythmic with controlled runs, more confident tone] Look at the cracks in my skin They tell the story from within Every no turned into a win Every loss taught me how to begin (Ad-libs: “Oh, I learned, I rose, I grew”) You, you, you — umm umm ahh Left me cryin’ in the rain Now your name don’t bring me pain I’m dancin’ in my lane (Run: “Whoo woo — umm umm yee yee”) ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – big dynamic lift with riff echoing] I built this strength in the dark Lit my own flame from the spark You can’t erase my mark I’m the light, I’m the heart *(Ad-libs: “Umm umm ahh — huh whoo woo”) (Run: “Yee yee yee yee yee… I’m free…”) ⸻ [Chorus – even more dynamic range and soul] I’m still standin’ — umm umm ahh Huh whoo woo — after it all — yee yee You saw me fall — but I rose — uh huh I broke every wall — umm umm ahh Still breathin’, still glowin’ — whoo woo — yee yee I’m still standin’, unshaken, whole (Vocal run on “whooooole” — melisma “ahh yee yee”) (Ad-libs: “Can’t hold me down no more…”) ⸻ [Bridge – falsetto layered, stripped down for emotion] You don’t know what I’ve survived How I bled to stay alive But every wound became my pride I stand, I stand… I rise *(Falsetto echo: “Umm umm ahh… whoo woo…”) (Ad-libs: “Still standin’ — through the pain, the fire… all of it”) ⸻ [Final Chorus – big, triumphant, with full backing harmony] I’m still standin’ — umm umm ahh Huh whoo woo — never fall — yee yee I walk with grace, I walk with fire — uh huh Born again from the wire — umm umm ahh I shine in my story — whoo woo — yee yee I’m still standin’… and I always will *(Big final run: “Still… staaaaandiiiiin’… yee yee yee”) *(Outro falsetto: “Umm umm ahh… huh whoo woo… I’m gone from the fall…”)
