Standing On My Own

I've never built a coffee table, birdhouse, or a chair where I could sit
My hands don't show a lifetime of pain, or sweat, or sacrifice, or grit
I've placed upon the mantle some photographs of moments I was in
But I didn't build the picture frames, I can't tell you where they've been

What I've built is who I am
I'm rough around the edges, but I'm still standing

I'm still standing, I'm standing on my own
I built myself out of blood and bone
And I'm standing on my own

I've taken it for granted that I am where I am 'cause of where I been
That everything that's happened to me brought me here so I could live again
And sure there's things I've never done like raise a child or read "Of Mice and Men"
It's hard enough to make a man that anyone would want to call a friend

What I've built is who I am
And I'm rough around the edges, but I'm still standing

I'm still standing, I'm standing on my own
Someday I'm gonna build myself a home
'Cause I'm standing on my own

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh

I'm still standing, I'm standing on my own
Someday I'm gonna build myself a home
Cause I'm standing on my own
I built myself out of blood and bone
And I'm standing on my own

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh
