Lyrics

There's a silence before thunder

When the whole sky holds its breath

When a man looks in the mirror

And decides what's coming next

I've been walking with my head down

Letting time drag me along

But tonight I feel the fire

Of a man who knows he's strong

I ain't asking for forgiveness

I ain't begging for a sign

I just found the piece inside me

That I almost left behind

So let the wind start howling

Let the walls shake where I stand

I was made for more than breaking

When the weight comes crashing in

I'm ready to go

I'll make my stand

With the dirt on my boots

And the truth in my hands

I won't turn away

I won't break and run

I'll face what's ahead

Till the fight is done

Let the whole world know

Where I draw that line

I've been quiet too long

Now it's my damn time

I'm ready to go

I'll make my stand

Like a hard-headed soul

Like a no-quit man

There's a price for staying silent

There's a cost to playing small

You can live your life half-hidden

Or you can rise up through it all

I don't need a perfect moment

I don't need the lights to shine

I got scars that built a backbone

And a storm I call mine

There's a voice down in my chest now

That won't let me disappear

Saying, "Boy, you better move forward

You were never meant to fear"

So let the ground start cracking

Let them doubt me if they can

I ain't here to prove them right

I'm here to prove I am

I'm ready to go

I'll make my stand

With the dirt on my boots

And the truth in my hands

I won't turn away

I won't break and run

I'll face what's ahead

Till the fight is done

Let the whole world know

Where I draw that line

I've been quiet too long

Now it's my damn time

I'm ready to go

I'll make my stand

Like a hard-headed soul

Like a no-quit man

I can hear that drumbeat calling

Like a war cry in my chest

I can feel my old self falling

And I won't miss what left

If the night comes looking for me

Tell it I ain't hard to find

I'll be standing in the open

With my name still mine

No more waiting on permission

No more living on defense

I've got one life in this body

And I'm done sitting on the fence

I'm ready to go

I'll make my stand

With the dirt on my boots

And the truth in my hands

I won't turn away

I won't break and run

I'll face what's ahead

Till the fight is done

Let the whole world know

Where I draw that line

I've been quiet too long

Now it's my damn time

I'm ready to go

I'll make my stand

Like a hard-headed soul

Like a no-quit man

I'm ready to go

I'll make my stand

Ain't waiting no more

This is who I am

I'm ready to go

I'll make my stand
