Born to Stand Tall Lyrics

They threw their stones, I caught the pain

Bruised and battered in the pouring rain

They whispered lies to break my soul

But they don't know, I'm in control

You thought I'd crumble, thought I'd fold

But I'm a fire, burning bold

I've been cut, I've been scarred

But the battle made me hard

Found my tribe, they've got my back

We're the ones who won't crack

Every tear, every fall

Made me rise, born to stand tall

They tied my hands, I broke the chain

Turned the hurt into a war cry's refrain

Every shove, every cruel word

Only pushed me to be heard

You lit the match, but I'm the flame

I've got no fear, I've got no shame

I've been cut, I've been scarred

But the battle made me hard

Found my tribe, they've got my back

We're the ones who won't crack

Every tear, every fall

Made me rise, born to stand tall

They laughed out loud, thought I'd break down

But their hate became my battleground

Every sneer just fed my fight

I'll stand unshaken through the night

I found the truth in the darkest day

The ones who stayed showed me the way

Built my armor, stone by stone

Now I'm never fighting alone

You lit the match, but I'm the flame

I've got no fear, I've got no shame

I've been cut, I've been scarred

But the battle made me hard

Found my tribe, they've got my back

We're the ones who won't crack

Every tear, every fall

Made me rise, born to stand tall

They'll never crush what's in my heart

Every wound became my art

I'm not defined by what they do

I am me, and I'm breaking through

I'm not your victim, not your prey

I climbed the walls, I found my way

Above the noise, above the hate

I wrote my name across my fate

I've been cut, I've been scarred

But the battle made me hard

Found my tribe, they've got my back

We're the ones who won't crack

Every tear, every fall

Made me rise, born to stand tall

I wouldn't trade the broken parts

They're the stitches in my heart

Every scar's a story to tell

I faced the flames, and I rebelled

I'm standing tall, I'm standing free

All of it made me who I'm meant to be
