I’ve been through the fire

Down to the wire

I’ve been shamed

I’ve been defamed

I’ve been scorned

I’ve had my heart torn

I’ve gotten lost

At a very high cost

But I’m still standing

I’ve struggled with doubt

Couldn’t work things out

I’ve fallen time and time again

Not knowing I could win

I’ve been betrayed

My heart has strayed

I’ve been used and abused

And totally confused

But I’m still standing

I couldn’t see

What I was meant to be

I thought fate was wrong

But I remained strong

Each and every lesson

Became a confession

Life hasn’t been fair

But God’s been there

And I’m still standing
