I'm still standing
After all I've been through
And I'll wave my flag
To show that I'm alive
I've been through so much
Many hurdles faced
I'm not going back this time around
I'm not going back this time around
Ooh ooh ooh ooh

I'll wave my flag
I'll host it up for all to see
That God is good
He never sleeps, he never faints
I'm not going back this time around
I'm not going back
This time around
I'll wave my flag
My testimony is written
All over it
And I'll show the scars
To the world
That God has been good
All the time, anywhere
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh ooh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh ooh

Yes, I'm still standing
After all they've thrown at me
I'm still dancing
After all the broken songs
The light of my life saved me
The love of my life
Has blown a kiss
And I'm still standing
Blown a kiss
And I'm still standing
I'm still standing
After all I've been through
I'm still standing
After all the many years
All the trials and the battles
That has broken me before

Will never rise a second time
Will never rise a second time
Will never take my joy away
Will never rise a second time
Will never rise a second time
Will never take my joy away
So goodbye yesterday

Goodbye pain
Goodbye all the struggles in that trouble land
Goodbye yesterday
Goodbye pain
Goodbye all the struggles in that trouble land
Goodbye yesterday
Goodbye pain
Goodbye all the struggles in that trouble land
Goodbye yesterday
Goodbye pain
Goodbye all the struggles in that trouble land

Not going back
This time around
Not going back this time around
Not going back
This time around
(Oh oh oh) not going back this time around
Goodbye yesterday
Goodbye pain
Goodbye all the struggles in that trouble land
Goodbye yesterday
(Oh oh oh oh) goodbye pain
Goodbye all the struggles in that trouble land

Not going back
This time around
Not going back this time around
Not going back
This time around (to the old way)
(Not going back) not going back this time around
I'm not going back this time around
(Can you tell your neighbour, I'm not going say)
I'm not going back this time around
I'm not going back this time around
Goodbye yesterday
Goodbye pain
(Goodbye all the struggles)
goodbye all the struggles in that trouble land
I'm not going back this time around
I'm not going back this time around
