Steel But Not Stone

Verse
Life hits hard, yeah, it leaves a bruise,
A battle scar, a worn-out muse.
But I won't break, I won't bow down,
Every fall builds this solid ground.

Dust in my lungs, blood on my hands,
Out in the wild, making my stand.
Through the storm, the fire, the rain,
It’s just heat that’s forging my name.

Pre-Chorus
Don’t need to play the bitter part,
The fight’s within, not in the dark.
I bend, I bleed, but I don't crack,
I'm moving forward, no looking back.

Chorus
The weight of the world can press me down,
But I rise up stronger, hear the sound.
I'm steel but not stone, I feel it all,
The higher I climb, the further I fall.
Life is tough, but my heart’s my own,
I’m steel but not stone.

Verse
The cracks they show, but they don’t define,
They're maps of battles that make me shine.
Each loss, each win, a lesson learned,
The fire’s hot, but I never burn.

I wear my flaws like a crown of gold,
Not afraid to show the truth I hold.
The harder it gets, the more I grow,
Soft doesn’t mean you’re weak, you know.

Pre-Chorus
Don’t need the walls to feel secure,
The open road, my only cure.
I bend, I break, I let life in,
Through every trial, I’ll always win.

Chorus
The weight of the world can press me down,
But I rise up stronger, hear the sound.
I'm steel but not stone, I feel it all,
The higher I climb, the further I fall.
Life is tough, but my heart’s my own,
I’m steel but not stone.

Bridge
Hard doesn’t mean that you’re alive,
It’s the cracks where the light survives.
So let it pour, let it roar, let it shake,
This heart’s unyielding, it won’t break.

Chorus
The weight of the world can press me down,
But I rise up stronger, hear the sound.
I'm steel but not stone, I feel it all,
The higher I climb, the further I fall.
Life is tough, but my heart’s my own,
I’m steel but not stone.

Outro
So bring the chaos, bring the storm,
This soul is wild, this soul is warm.
I’ll face it all, yeah, I’ll take the blows,
Stronger, bolder, and self-assured, I know.
I’m steel but not stone.

I’m steel but not stone.
