Lyrics

(Verse 1)
There are days when you're feeling so strong
and other days you just can't go on
With your head in your hands you watch the day go by
and wonder how the hell it all went so wrong

(Pre chorus)
But the weeks move along and the seasons change
The tears are over and though life seems strange,
there's a new resolve, you've reinvented you
By the grace of god you know you'll make it through, and

(Chorus)
You're still standing
You've overcome the pain
You've reached down inside, 'cause you know
With the sun comes a little rain

(Verse 2)
In my life I have seen the enigma
and the mystery intrigues me still
And I still can't explain why we endure the strain,
it all comes down to a question of will

(Pre chorus)
'Cause I have seen the darkness
I have seen the light,
but I'm too damn stubborn to give up this fight
By the grace of God I know I'll make it through
Be it love or life, we get to win a few, and

(Chorus)
I'm still standing
I've weathered all the rain
I've learned to laugh in spite of it all
'cause with each life comes a little pain

Yes, we're still standing
We've overcome the pain
We've reached down inside, 'cause we know
With the sun comes a little rain
But we're still standing.
