Still I’m Here
By Ashleigh Hatter
The trees were swaying
and all the night they were loud
but still I’m here, still I’m here
The thunder rumbled
on and on and wanted to eat the house
but still I’m here, still I’m here
The lightning, happy,
flashing on to burn the world
but still I’m here, still I’m here
The rain, a deluge
cold and languid, coating us all
but still I’m here, still I’m here
Still I’m here before a fire
Still I’m here in the waking dawn
Still I’m here to hear the birds sing
Still I’m here to sing along
Still I’m here when the storm sought me
Still I’m here when the night grew deep
Still I’m here to proclaim I’m living
Still I’m here standing on my feet
Now I go to a fresh new world
Now I go no chains on me
Now I go – I survived the storm
Now I go to face some more
