I had to look at my life

And soar through the mess

Of hiding my power

And giving what's left

Compromising my truth bend until I break

Comply at little pieces so easy to take yeah

Then people let me down

It was too much to bear

A ghost in my own home

Prisoner to my fears

Don't claim to understand

It's not my job to stay

And I ain't no superpower

It just worked out that way

Cause I've been through the fire

Crawled through the desert

And I ain't going nowhere nowhere

I had screamed from the Mountain Top

And I cried in the valley

You know I'm still here

I'm still here

These scars on my face

They're holding the light

Don't tell me it's been easy

Cause you know that ain't right now

Old time had his way

While my spirit paid the dues

You know I ain't broken

I'm just a little bit bruised

Cause I've been through the fire

Crawled through the desert

I ain't going nowhere

I have screamed from the Mountain Top

That I cried in the valley

You know I'm still here

I won't carry no shame

Doing the things that I needed to

The strength to survive

Was here

Long before I was your fool

Don't try to beat me down over your hate

All of them lies

I already told you once I might need

But I won't cry

No I won't cry

I had to look at my life

And soar through the mess of hiding my power

And giving what's left

Compromising my truth bend until I break

Complying little pieces so easy to take

Cause I've been through the fire

Crawl through the desert

And I ain't going nowhere nowhere

I had screamed from the Mountain Top

And I cried in the valley

You know I'm still here

Yeah I've been through the fire

Crawl through the desert

I ain't going nowhere nowhere

I have screamed from the Mountain Top

And I cried in the belly

You know I'm still here

Yeah I'm still here
