"Still Standing" lyrics

I'm here for a reason
The story needs to be told
It lives inside a tradition
Deep within the soul

Now I can't change the past
It's written in blood
On the Trail of Tears
Where tears became a flood, yeah

But I'm still standing
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
Under the Sun

I know why the coyote cries
In the dead of night
And I know where the eagle flies
In the dying light

I've been here 'fore you can remember
From so long ago
It's not written in your books
No, it's carved in stone

But I'm still standing
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
Under the Sun

You know, we were almost gone
The Vanishing Breed
But I'm still here
Yeah, I'm here

Turn my world upside down
Want to bury me in the ground
But I'm still around

I'm still standing
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
Where I belong

I've been here before you can remember
From so long ago
It's not written in your books
No, it's carved in stone

And I know why the coyote cries
In the dead of night
And I know where the eagle flies
In the dying light, yeah

I'm still standing
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
Under the Sun
