I'm Still Here
Lyrics
I was born with the brightest of futures
Drawn in the most majestic plans
Brilliant statehouse, the host of royalty
The head and the heart of the land
But the capital was moved, my glory days were through
My sweetest dreams were not to be
The work was ended on my beautiful design
But it was not the end of me
(Chorus)
I'm still here and I will tell the stories
In this place where they never have to end
I've come to know that when I tell the stories
They live on with every new found friend
All my glory went up north to my sister
And everybody let me be,
My red stone exposed, a discarded, dusty rose
Rougher than I'd ever planned to be
A jail for the drinkers, a school for the preachers
A shelter for a hidden printing press
And maybe your grandma twirled across my dance floor
in her finest handmade dress
I'm still here and I will tell the stories
In this place where they never have to end
I've come to know that when I tell the stories
They live on with every new found friend
And I'm still here, where stories never end
Come to me, come to remember
Come to me, stay for just a spell
Come to hear this unfinished legacy
Come to know your home so well
I'm still here and I will tell the stories
In this place where they never have to end
I've come to know that when I tell the stories
They live on with every new found friend
And I'm still here, where stories never end
