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
