Mostafa Elsaadi - Built From The Fall

I'm still standing
I'm still standing
There was a time
I couldn't see
The moon
Every road
I knew had disappeared
I had a thousand reasons to surrender
And every one of them sounded sincere
I watched the plans
I built come
Crashing down
Piece by piece beneath my feet
For a while
I thought the fall had
Finished me until
I heard my heart beat underneath
Not loud.
Not fearless
Just enough to keep me here
Sometimes
That's the beginning
I didn't find a way around it.
I walked
Straight through the flames.
I stopped
Waiting for the old
LIFE TO COME BACK
AND CALL MY NAME.
EVERY STEP WAS SMALL
EVERY BREATH WAS HARD.
BUT SOMETHING
Underneath the wreckage was learning how
To START A FIRE
I FELL DOWN but
I but i
I came back
I fell
I lost it all
But look at me now
I'm still standing.
I'm still standing
Built from the fall
I fell down
Back back
I came back
Built from the fall oh
I'm still standing
I stopped counting everything
I lost
Stopped measuring my life against the past
Some things were never meant to stay forever
Some doors were only made to close and last.
I found a little courage
In the silence
Found a little rhythm in the pain
And every time the world said
Stay down
Something in me answered back again
Not because
I had no fear, because i
Learned to move with it
THAT WAS THE DIFFERENCE
I DIDN'T NEED A perfect dancer.
I didn't
Need another sign.
I only needed one
More reason to put my feet beneath my life
Every scar became a lesson.
Every loss
Became a road.
Every piece I
Thought was missing became something
I could hold screaming
Fell oh
Fell down but
I but i
I came back
I fell
I lost it all
But look at me now
I'm still standing.
I'm still standing
Built from the fall
I fell down.
Back back
I came back
Built from the fall
Oh, I'm still standing
I'm still standing
Don't call it failure.
Call it the place where
I learned my own way
Don't call it the ending.
Call
It the ground that taught me how to stand
I don't need to erase
WHAT HAPPENED TO ME
I CARRY IT
AND I keep walking
I fell
I fell down
But I I I
I came back
I fell.
I lost it all
And look at me now
I'm still standing
I'm still
After every door that closed, after
Every road that disappeared
After every night
I fell
I'd never see the morning.
I'm still
Standing, built from the fall
I'm still
I fell down back
I came back
I'm still
I'm
Built from the fall
I'm still
Let it fall
Back back
Came back
I'm still still standing
I'm still standing
I'm still
I'm still standing, built from the fall
