[Verse 1]
The devil came close
Twice at my door
Cold hands on my throat
I still want more
He wrote my last line
Then lost his grip
I bit through the night
I would not slip
[Pre-Chorus]
You can bury the ache
You can test my skin
But I burned in the dark
And I rise again
[Chorus]
I stand, I stand
With a spark in my eyes
I stand, I stand
Yeah, I chose my life
God kept the flame
When the dead tried to call
I stand, I stand
I don't fall
(I don't fall)
[Verse 2]
I wore my scars home
Like iron on chain
Every wound in my chest
Still calls out His name
Hands shaking, I knelt
On a floor of dust
He turned all my fear
Into holy trust
[Pre-Chorus]
You can bury the ache
You can test my skin
But I burned in the dark
And I rise again
[Chorus]
I stand, I stand
With a spark in my eyes
I stand, I stand
Yeah, I chose my life
God kept the flame
When the dead tried to call
I stand, I stand
I don't fall
(I don't fall)
[Bridge]
I saw the knife edge
I saw the black tide
I heard my own name
And He pulled me back inside
Now every bruise says
I survived the war
What tried to end me
Made me harder than before
[Final Chorus]
I stand, I stand
With a spark in my eyes
I stand, I stand
Yeah, I chose my life
God kept the flame
When the dead tried to call
I stand, I stand
I don't fall
(I don't fall)
I stand, I stand
With a spark in my eyes
I stand, I stand
I don't fall
(I don't fall)
