Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm here for a reason
The story needs to be told
It lives inside a tradition
Deep within the soul
[Verse 2]
Now I can't change the past
It's written in blood
On the Trail of Tears
Where tears became a flood, yeah
[Chorus]
But I'm still standing
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
Under the Sun
[PreChorus]
I know why the coyote cries
In the dead of night
And I know where the eagle flies
In the dying light
[PreChorus]
I've been here 'fore you can remember
From so long ago
It's not written in your books
No, it's carved in stone
[Chorus]
But I'm still standing
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
Under the Sun
[Verse 3]
You know, we were almost gone
The Vanishing Breed
But I'm still here
Yeah, I'm here
[Verse 4]
Turn my world upside down
Want to bury me in the ground
But I'm still around
[Chorus]
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
Where I belong
[PreChorus]
I've been here before you can remember
From so long ago
It's not written in your books
No, it's carved in stone
[PreChorus]
And I know why the coyote cries
In the dead of night
And I know where the eagle flies
In the dying light, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
Under the Sun
