Still Standing in the Storm

Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 - Liora (Past)
I learned young how to stay unseen,
How silence keeps you safe and clean.
I watched the world from shadowed floors,
Counting exits, locking doors.
They said control was keeping me whole,
That fear was just the price you pay.
I survived by letting go,
Of parts of me I could save.

Pre-Chorus - Liora 
I didn't fall because I'm weak,
I fell because I tried to breathe.

Chorus - Lloyd (supportive, steady)
You're still standing in the storm,
Even when you're torn and worn.
You don't have to shine like light 
To prove you're worth the fight.
If you break, you break and rise,
I see truth behind your eyes.
You're not feerless—you're still here,
And that means more than all their fear.

Verse 2 - Liora (Present / Ninja life)
I fight beside the chosen ones,
Green and fir, stone and sun.
I wear symbol, wear the scars,
But I don't feel as strong as they are.
Like you, I carry more than fate,
I carry doubt I never show.
Ever win comes wrapped in weight,
Every step feels watched, I know.

Pre-Chorus - Liora 
They call me brave, but don't know why
My hands still shake when shadows rise.

Chorus - Lloyd 
You're still standing in the storm,
Targed painted, battle-worn.
Villains learn your name too fast—
That just means you're built to last.
If they hunt you, if they try,
That doesn't mean you're meant to die.
You stand with us, you always belong—
Not because you're safe,
But because you're strong.

Bridge - Liora 
Every dark side knows my face,
Every threat knows where to aim.
They don't want power, don't want gold—
They want my heart, my past, my soul.
Sometimes I fear I'm just the key
To doors that should stay closed...

Bridge - Lloyd (answering)
Or maybe you're the reason why
They never win—
Because you chose.

Final Chorus - Lloyd (stronger, hopeful)
You're still standing in the storm,
Not a weapon, not a pawn.
You're more than what they take,
More than every villain's game.
If your past still speaks at night,
I'll stand with you until daylight.
You fight with ninjas, side by side—
Not because you're unafraid,
But because you don't hide.

Outro - Liora & Lloyd (soft)
Liora: I'm still here.
Lloyd: And you're not alone.
Both: We stand.
