Stand Strong

[Verse 1] In the shadows, whispers grow, A cruel game that they all know, They push you down, they break your soul, But deep inside, you find your goal. [Pre-chorus] They laugh, they taunt, they try to tear, But you won’t crumble, you won’t despair, You’ll rise above, you’ll find your way, In this battle of darkness, you’ll stay. [Chorus] Stand strong, don’t let them win, You’re more than their words, more than their sin, Stand strong, rise from the pain, You’re a warrior, a fighter in the rain. [Verse 2] Their words like daggers, cutting deep, But you’ll rewrite the story they seek, With courage burning, flames within, You’ll rise, you’ll fight, you’ll never give in. [Pre-chorus] They laugh, they taunt, they try to tear, But you won’t crumble, you won’t despair, You’ll rise above, you’ll find your way, In this battle of darkness, you’ll stay. [Chorus] Stand strong, don’t let them win, You’re more than their words, more than their sin, Stand strong, rise from the pain, You’re a warrior, a fighter in the rain. [Verse 3] Through tear-streaked nights and battles fought, You’ll find your voice, your strength uncaught, The scars they leave, they’ll fade away, As you rise, as you stand, as you sway. [Pre-chorus] They laugh, they taunt, they try to tear, But you won’t crumble, you won’t despair, You’ll rise above, you’ll find your way, In this battle of darkness, you’ll stay. [Chorus] Stand strong, don’t let them win, You’re more than their words, more than their sin, Stand strong, rise from the pain, You’re a warrior, a fighter in the rain. [Verse 4] Their shadows may haunt, their whispers persist, But you’ll paint your truth with every twist, In defiance, you’ll bloom, a phoenix reborn, Their cruelty shattered, your spirit adorned. [Pre-chorus] They laugh, they taunt, they try to tear, But you won’t crumble, you won’t despair, You’ll rise above, you’ll find your way, In this battle of darkness, you’ll stay. [Chorus] Stand strong, don’t let them win, You’re more than their words, more than their sin, Stand strong, rise from the pain, You’re a warrior, a fighter in the rain. [Verse 5] In the field, where games are played, Exclusion's price, heavily weighed. One stands apart, the game goes on, Their spirit dimmed, their brightness gone [Pre-chorus] They laugh, they taunt, they try to tear, But you won’t crumble, you won’t despair, You’ll rise above, you’ll find your way, In this battle of darkness, you’ll stay. [Chorus] Stand strong, don’t let them win, You’re more than their words, more than their sin, Stand strong, rise from the pain, You’re a warrior, a fighter in the rain. [Verse 6] But there's a spark, a light within, That bullying can never dim. It takes a crowd to stand and say, "No more hurt, not today." [Pre-chorus] They laugh, they taunt, they try to tear, But you won’t crumble, you won’t despair, You’ll rise above, you’ll find your way, In this battle of darkness, you’ll stay. [Chorus] Stand strong, don’t let them win, You’re more than their words, more than their sin, Stand strong, rise from the pain, You’re a warrior, a fighter in the rain. [Pre-chorus] They laugh, they taunt, they try to tear, But you won’t crumble, you won’t despair, You’ll rise above, you’ll find your way, In this battle of darkness, you’ll stay. [Chorus] Stand strong, don’t let them win, You’re more than their words, more than their sin, Stand strong, rise from the pain, You’re a warrior, a fighter in the rain. [Outro] So let our voices rise, a chorus strong, Against the darkness that's been so long. Together, we'll build bridges, not walls, For kindness triumphs, and love enthralls. [Flute Solo] [End]
