Lyrics

I walked up the drive heart beatin' slow
Where laughter once lived now the winds just blow
The porch is gone the paint is dust
But I keep on breathin' because I must
Chimney's cracked but it's still reachin' high
Like it's tellin' me "Don't you dare cry"
Took a deep breath looked all around
Not a home but still sacred ground
I'm still standing in the ashes
With my head held to the sky
Yeah the fire took the walls
But it couldn't touch my why
I'm the smile in the sorrow
The calm in the storm
I hold hope like a lantern
For the ones I keep warm
We lost the house but not the light
We're still standing We'll be all right
I turn to my fam they're lookin' at me
Needin' someone strong just to help them see
So I crack a joke wipe a tear from their face
Say "We're gonna rebuild in the very same place"
Memories can't burn love don't fade
Roots run deeper than the mess that's made
We'll lay new floors hang brand new art
But what really matters—we never lost heart
I'm still standing in the ashes
With my head held to the sky
Yeah the fire took the walls
But it couldn't touch my why
I'm the smile in the sorrow
The calm in the storm
I hold hope like a lantern
For the ones I keep warm
We lost the house but not the light
We're still standing We'll be all right
So here's to the future brick by brick
With laughter loud and ceilings thick
Here's to the porch swings and fresh baked pie
To stories we'll tell under Altadena skies
I'm still standing in the ashes
With my heart open wide
You can lose every wall
But not the strength inside
I'm the light in the shadows
The song in the flame
I'll build it back brighter
I remember the name
We lost the house but not the fight
We're still standing And we'll be all right
Yeah we're still standing… in the ashes…
Still believing… in new chapters…
Still loving… even faster…
We're still here… and we're gonna rise
