Bend But Don't Shatter

Tie, tie, faded shadow, cling to my weary frame Pain carved deep, but I call his name Lost my way, way in the pouring rain Lost my pouring rain Breaking every rain field Breaking every chain Bruises heal under midnight strain Bruises heal under midnight strain Heart still pounding, dancing through the pain I bend, but I don't shatter No, I bend, but I don't shatter No, rise from the ashes Let the whole world know Through the ache and the hollow My spirit glows Yeah, I stand Yeah, I stand Where the river flows Wounds that linger Like a lonesome cry Wounds that linger Like a lonesome cry Turn to armor, touch the endless sky Fell so hard, thought I'd never fly Fell so hard, thought I'd never fly Wings unfold now, reaching for the high I bend, but I don't shatter No, I bend, but I don't shatter No, rise from the ashes Let the whole world know Through the ache and the hollow My spirit glows Yeah, I stand Yeah, I stand Where the river flows Storms keep coming, tearing at my soul Storms keep coming, tearing at my soul Roots run deeper, filling up the hole Fade in the breaking dawn Fade in the breaking dawn Strengthens, awakens Carrying me I bend, but I don't shatter No, I bend, but I don't shatter No, rise from the ashes Let the whole world know Through the ache and the hollow My spirit glows Yeah, I stand Yeah, I stand Where the river flows Drums play Pain may call But a answer's strong Pain may call But a answer's strong Forever rising Singing my song Yeah, I stand I stand I stand, I stand I stand
