[Verse 1] I stepped out in the rain With a thrift-store coat Two bus tokens left And a name I couldn’t hold The deli door sighed open Steam on the glass A man with a paper crown Asked, “You still got class?” I said, “Not much tonight” Then I smiled at the floor Kept my shoes moving Past the pawn shop door [Pre-Chorus] But the moon on the window Looked back at me clean Like, “Baby, you’re still here And that has to mean” So I straightened my collar Held my chin up high One small breath One more try [Chorus] I’m still standing In my old black shoes Still standing Got nothing left to lose The night can bend me But it won’t break me through I’m still standing I’m still standing with you (ooh) with you (ooh) with you [Verse 2] On the seven-train bridge I watched the river steel Every tired heartbeat Learning how to heal A sax from the corner Cut through the gray Sounded like a promise Walking me home that way I thought of every goodbye Every door I missed Then I let them fall Like coins in my fist [Pre-Chorus] Cause the hurt was a jacket I wore far too long But I shed it in the doorway And sang my own song Now the dark can lean in Try to take my name I’ll keep a little light Right inside the frame [Chorus] I’m still standing In my old black shoes Still standing Got nothing left to lose The night can bend me But it won’t break me through I’m still standing I’m still standing with you (ooh) with you (ooh) with you [Bridge] Let them count the losses I’ll count the days I learned how to rise In a hundred small ways From a cracked front step To a crowded room I found my own pulse In the middle of the gloom [sax solo] [Final Chorus] I’m still standing In my old black shoes Still standing Got nothing left to lose The night can bend me But it won’t break me through I’m still standing I’m still standing with you I’m still standing Hear me sing it true I’m still standing I’m still standing through the blue (ooh) through the blue (ooh) through the blue
