Lyrics

I Stand My Ground
By Kristopher Daniel Pinnell

[Verse 1]
I chased every high
Just trying to fly
But every escape
Was a well dressed lie
The mirrors cracked
But I looked away
Couldn’t face the man
I was that day

[Chorus]
No longer a shadow
That can’t be found
No longer a ship
Running a ground
No longer bound
No longer drowned
With my head
Full of sound
Uplifted and abound
I stand my ground

[Verse 2]
Ninety days
The world still spins
So much unknown
But I feel it within
Now I stand
On this shifting ground
No map, no plan
A moment I’ve found
I’m learning to trust
What I can’t see
The power In uncertainty

[Chorus]
No longer a shadow
That can’t be found
No longer a ship
Running a ground
No longer bound
No longer drowned
With my head
Full of sound
Uplifted and abound
I stand my ground

[Verse 3]
This gift I found
My new sound
No longer bound
By my past
Would it last
Shaky
Uncertain
With so much to face
Yet I stand
With grace
I learned somehow
To stand and kneel
Take no bow
As I learn
I can heal
By each mistake
I make no appeal

[Chorus]
No longer a shadow
That can’t be found
No longer a ship
Running a ground
No longer bound
No longer drowned
With my head
Full of sound
Uplifted and abound
I stand my ground

[Verse 4]
Somewhere in the silence
I chose to stay
Didn’t know why
But I stayed anyway
But ninety days
It finally pays
No more haze
I learned new ways
My lyrics don’t lie
I stoped asking why
Lyrics leap from my soul
It is what now
Makes me whole

[Chorus]
No longer a shadow
That can’t be found
No longer a ship
Running a ground
No longer bound
No longer drowned
With my head
Full of sound
Uplifted and abound
I stand my ground

[Outro]
I’ve proven once again
Today I see
All this
was gifted to me
Because I stayed
And with a prayer
May I ask
For a major task
Just one more day
That I last
