I Stand Up Again

[Soft Felt Piano Intro] I stumbled on a street I know by heart My palm drips with a little blood [Verse 1] Asphalt pressed against my scraped knee I sit and wonder why I fell Not because it was slippery, but because I was afraid Afraid to fall, so I never dared to move fast [Pre-Chorus] I gather a little courage from the bottom of my pocket I wipe the dust from my cheek [Chorus] I stand up again Though my knee still bleeds red I stand up again I rise because I'm not finished yet [Verse 2] A passerby reaches out a hand I shake my head, smile, and take in the air This fall became a small lesson Learning to stand steady on my own [Chorus] I stand up again Though my knee still bleeds red I stand up again I rise because I'm not finished yet [Bridge] Some wounds slow us down But slow doesn't mean stop Every fall is a reminder [Chorus] I stand up again Though my knee still bleeds red I stand up again I rise because I'm not finished yet [Outro] I've stood up now Dust trails behind my heels [Fade Out] [End]
