(Verse 1)
I spent Monday morning with a vacuum and a broom
Chasing out the shadows in a quiet, empty room
I was clearing the path so you could finally take a breath
Trading the stress of the mess for a little bit of rest
And when you walked through the door and the silence took hold
I realized I wasn't just cleaning—I was finding my own soul
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m looking in the mirror and I don’t see a ghost
I see the version of me that you love the most
(Chorus)
Yeah, I’m standing tall on a porch made of grace
Watching the sun pull the light from this place
Over the pastures and the emerald green
I finally love the man that I’m becoming
No "hurry," no "sorry," no looking back
Just the weight of a promise and the peace that I lack
Yeahhhh, I’m standing tall
(Verse 2)
I learned a lot about life from the grease on B’s hands
About how a man stays steady and exactly where he stands
And I learned from the way your Daddy looked at the field
That the biggest of hearts is the only thing that’ll yield
You didn't see a "project" or a kid who was lost
You gave me a home, and you never counted the cost
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m looking in the mirror and I don’t see a ghost
I see the version of me that you love the most
(Chorus)
Yeah, I’m standing tall on a porch made of grace
Watching the sun pull the light from this place
Over the pastures and the emerald green
I finally love the man that I’m becoming
No "hurry," no "sorry," no looking back
Just the weight of a promise and the peace that I lack
Yeahhhh, I’m standing tall
(Bridge)
The signs might go up and the trucks might roll out
But you’ve cleared away every shadow of doubt
You promised to check in, and I know that you will
'Cause the bond that we built here is standing perfectly still
Things may change and move on, but I’m not moving back
To the "invisible" version of me or the things that I lack
(Final Chorus)
Yeah, I’m standing tall on a porch made of grace
Watching the sun pull the light from this place
Over the pastures and the emerald green
I finally love the man that I’m becoming
No "hurry," no "sorry," no looking back
Just the weight of a promise and the peace that I lack
Yeah, I’m standing tall
(Outro)
Just a "thank you" in the doorway...
I hope you know I’m grateful...
Still standing tall
Yeah, I’m standing tall
Yeah, I’m standing tall
