Still Burning, Still Here

They said the fire would fade

That time would turn it cold

But I still feel the embers

Burning through the old

I've lost some pieces on the way

Left words I'll never say

But I still breathe

And I still stay

Still burning

Still here

Still walking

Through the years

With ash in my voice

And dust on my skin

But I show up

Again and again

I've been quiet, I've been loud

I've stood alone inside the crowd

I've been broken, I've been blind

But never left myself behind

The road ain't kind

But it taught me grace

And I still carry

Every face

Still burning

Still here

Still singing

What you fear

With cracks in my tone

And ghosts in my song

But I stayed

And I've stayed this long

Maybe I'm no hero

Maybe I'm no light

But I held the match

Through the longest night

Still burning

Still here

Still rising

Year by year

With blood in the chords

And fire in the line

This is not the end —

Just one more sign

Still burning

Still here
