STILL STANDING

Verse

I was just a child when the world turned cold

Mama's voice, Daddy's hand to hold

Taken like a whisper in the wind

Left me standing, not knowing how to begin

Chorus

But I kept pushing, kept believing

Through the heartache and the grieving

Sixteen years of wandering roads

Carrying such a heavy load

From town to city, door to door

They said "no" a thousand times or more

But God was working all along

Now I'm standing, still standing strong

Verse

University dreams, papers in my hand

But the jobs were few, the pay was thin

I slept on floors, ate what I could find

But I never let the dream leave my mind

Bridge

They said I'd never make it, said just give it up

But every tear I cried became a prayer that filled my cup

Verse

Then one day the phone rang, words so clear

"Congratulations, Kenneth, your beginning's here"

A good paying job, a door swung wide

I fell on my knees and cried

Outro

To everyone still waiting in the storm

Hold on—your breakthrough's being formed

God's timing is perfect, just keep the faith and stay

You'll be standing strong someday
