Still Burning Bright
by CJ Frei
Lyrics
Verse 1
I've walked through the smoke,
I've worn the scars.
Found my way
By following my heart.
Some doors closed,
Some bridges fell.
Funny how they led me
Right where I am.
Pre-Chorus
Every goodbye,
Every long night,
Every lesson
Made this fire stronger.
I wouldn't trade
The road behind me...
Not for anything.
Chorus
I'm still burning bright!
Like the morning breaking
After the longest night.
Still chasing dreams,
Still reaching higher.
They couldn't steal
What lives inside.
The flame got tested,
The winds blew hard...
But here I am...
Still burning bright.
Verse 2
To everyone
Who's finding their way,
Wondering if tomorrow
Will ever change...
Hold on.
Your story
Isn't written
By your hardest days.
The strongest hearts
Don't never break...
They just keep beating anyway.
Pre-Chorus
If you're standing
At the edge today...
Take one more step.
We'll meet you there.
Chorus
We're still burning bright!
Every soul
That refused to quit.
Every voice
That chose hope instead.
Hands held high,
Hearts open wide.
There's enough light
For all of us tonight.
We're still burning bright!
Bridge
When the world says,
"That's enough..."
Answer with another sunrise.
When fear says,
"Turn around..."
Take another step.
When doubt whispers,
"You've lost..."
Remember...
An ember doesn't ask
For permission to glow.
It simply does.
Final Chorus
We're still burning bright!
Louder than yesterday,
Brighter than the pain.
Every tear,
Every laugh,
Every mile,
Every flame.
If you're hearing this,
You're not alone.
Look around...
We're all still here.
Still believing.
Still becoming.
Still standing.
Still burning bright!
Outro
When the fire fades...
The ember remains.
And tomorrow...
We'll light the sky again.
