Nevertheless

(Verse 1)
The mirror shows a face I don’t quite recognize
Ashamed of all the secrets buried in these eyes [1, 2]
The promises I shattered left a jagged trail
A thousand times I faltered, watched the mission fail
(Pre-Chorus)
The mirror’s cracked, the image is broken [3, 4]
But there’s a truth that remains unspoken
(Chorus)
Nevertheless, I’m standing in the pouring rain
Steadfast through the fire and the hurricane [1, 5]
I’ll hold on tight to the edge of the light [6, 7]
I’m still in the fight, yeah, I’m still in the fight
(Verse 2)
They said I’d never make it past the valley floor
That I wasn’t worthy or worth fighting for [8, 9]
But the debt is paid, the silence has been torn
From the wreckage of the past, a new soul is born
(Bridge)
I’m not defined by the dirt on my hands
I’m worthy because of where I stand [8, 9]
The anchor holds, the grip is sure
This heart is heavy but the path is pure
(Chorus)
Nevertheless, I’m standing in the pouring rain
Steadfast through the fire and the hurricane [1, 5]
I’ll hold on tight to the edge of the light [6, 7]
I’m still in the fight, yeah, I’m still in the fight
(Outro)
Hold on tight...
Steadfast...
Nevertheless... I’m coming home.
