When I Stand

When I Stand - Owen James

Lyrics by：Ryan Anderson

Composed by：Ryan Anderson

I don't talk just to fill the air

I don't move just to prove I care

I don't scare when the sky turns black

I don't leave when it pushes back

I've seen strong men lose their ground

Heard brave words fall apart out loud

I don't shake when the walls give in

I get quiet then I dig in

When it gets heavy

When it gets loud

When everybody's running out

I don't run

I don't bend

When I stand

I don't fall

When I hold

I hold it all

When it's dark

When it breaks

You can lean

I won't shake

When I stand

You're safe

I've held hands in the worst of nights

Kept my word when it cost my pride

I don't fold when the truth cuts deep

I don't promise what I can't keep

I've been low I've been tested hard

Lost a few left a few scars

But I don't drown in what I face

I let it hit then I brace

When it gets lonely

When it gets thin

When the fight's outside and within

I don't run

I don't bend

When I stand

I don't fall

When I hold

I hold it all

When it's dark

When it breaks

You can lean

I won't shake

When I stand

You're safe

You don't need a louder man

You need one who understands

The weight don't scare me

It makes me who I am

When I stand

I don't fall

When I hold

I hold it all

When it's dark

When it breaks

You can lean

I won't shake

When I stand

You're safe

You're safe
