janis ian - i'm still standing (solo) lyrics
[verse 1]
see these lines on my face?
they’re a map of where i’ve been
and the deeper they are traced
the deeper life has settled in
how do we survive
living out our lives?
[chorus]
and i would not trade a line
make it smooth and fine
or pretend that time stands still
i want to rest my soul
here where it can grow without fear
another line, another year
i’m still standing here
[verse 2]
see these marks on my skin?
they’re the lyric of my life
every story i begin
just means another end’s in sight
only lovers understand
skin just covers who i am
[chorus]
and i would not trade a line
make it smooth and fine
or pretend that time stands still
i want to rest my soul
here where it can grow without fear
another line, another year
i’m still standing here
[bridge]
see these bruises, see these scars?
hieroglyphs that tell the tale
you can read them in the dark
through your fingertips, like braille
[chorus]
and i would not trade a line
make it smooth and fine
or pretend that time stands still
i plan to rest my soul
here where it can grow without fear
another line, another year
i’m still standing here
i’m still standing here
i’m still standing here
