When you are shaking

[When you are shaking]Lyrics

The walls were closing in, the sky was turning gray
You watched your golden dreams just drift away
You hid the tears behind a hollow smile
But they were carving out a canyon all the while


Dont call it wasted time
Dont say it was a crime
To feel the weight of every single blow


When you were shaking, crying on the floor
Your heart was opening a wider door
Every jagged edge, every bitter tear
Was making room for love to conquer fear
When everything you built fell to the ground
A deeper strength was waiting to be found
Youre not broken, youre just becoming new
The fire only brought the real you through


They say that winning is the only way to grow
But there are secrets that the winners never know
Its in the wreckage where the roots begin to take
Its in the silence right before the spirit wakes


One foot in front of the other
Blood, sweat, and salt in the rain
Youre bigger than the shadow
Youre stronger than the pain


When you were shaking, crying on the floor
Your heart was opening a wider door
Every jagged edge, every bitter tear
Was making room for love to conquer fear
When everything you built fell to the ground
A deeper strength was waiting to be found
Youre not broken, youre just becoming new
The fire only brought the real you through


Your heart got bigger
Youre getting stronger
The scars are just the proof
Of the beautiful truth
Yeah, youre still standing!
Still standing!
