The Strength to Stay

The Strength to Stay - Levi Stoker

The easy thing to do would be

To catch that midnight train

To leave the ghost of us behind

And outrun all the rain

I could pack a single bag

And let the engine scream my name

And find a brand new city where nobody knows my shame

But run is just a circle

When you're carrying the load

And I'm tired of seeing my reflection

On a lonely stretch of road

So I'm sitting in this kitchen

Where the silence is a wall

And I'm learning how to stand up

After taking such a fall

It takes a jagged kind of courage

A heavy kind of grace

To look at every memory

And look it in the face

Anyone can walk away

When the heart begins to fray

But it takes a man of iron

To find the strength to stay

Yeah I'm digging in my heels

I'm claiming back the ground

I'm building up a life

From the wreckage that I found

I ain't moving I ain't shaking

I'm here to face the day

Lord give me the strength to stay

There's a hole where you used to be

But coldness in the sheets

But I won't be a shadow

On all these dusty streets

I paint the walls a different shade

And I plant the winter week

I find a way to make this little living

Taste a little sweet

It's a lonesome kind of warfare

A battle with the past

But I forging something here that

I know is gonna last

I'm keeping every promise

That you couldn't find a heart to keep

And I'm sowing seeds of mercy

And I feel that's what I need

Boy takes a giant kind of courage

A heavy kind of brace

To look at every memory

Can look it in the face

Anyone can walk away

When the heart begins to fray

But it takes a man of mine

To find the strength to stay yeah

Digging in my heel

I'm claiming back the brown

I'm building up a life

From the wreckage that I found

I ain't moving I ain't shaking

I'm here to face the day

Oh give me the strength to stay

I ain't running no more

I lock the back door

The pain can't push me

The wind can't shake me I'm home

I'm home

It takes a jagged kind of current

A heavy kind of brakes

To look at every memory

And look it in the face

Anyone can walk away

When the heart begins to fray

But it takes a man alive

To find the strength to stay yeah

I'm digging in my heels

I'm claiming back the pound

I'm building up a lie

From the wreckage that I found

I ain't moving I ain't shaking

I'm here to face the day

Oh give me the strength to stay

Still yeah

Standing my ground

I strength to stay
