Stand My Ground
Cochren & Co.'s song is a defiant anthem of faith and resilience. The lyrics describe lying awake under the weight of the world and fear creeping in, but the singer declares he has fire in his bones and power in his soul. He identifies as a fighter and survivor, refusing to give up until the kingdom comes. The song references the rock of ages and the Holy Spirit alive within, lifting him up and setting him back on his feet. It concludes with a firm stance against shame and lies, standing on solid ground because the world has nothing on him.
I'm lying awake tonight
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
Got me feeling older
These thoughts in my mind again
When the fear starts creeping in, oh my
Not this time
'Cause I got that fire in my bones, got that power in my soul
I'm a fighter, a survivor, ain't no stopping now
No I'm never giving up 'til I see that kingdom come
Ain't no devil gonna knock me down
I will stand my ground
I will stand my ground
All the lies that I've been told
Ain't nothing but sticks and stones breaking
On the rock of ages
Holy Spirit alive in me
Gonna pick me up, dust me off, set me back on my feet
'Cause I got that fire in my bones, got that power in my soul
I'm a fighter, a survivor, ain't no stopping now
No I'm never giving up 'til I see that kingdom come
Ain't no devil gonna knock me down
I will stand my ground
I will stand my ground
No shame gonna knock me down. No lies gonna take me out
I'll stand on solid ground. This world's got nothing on me
No shame gonna knock me down. No lies gonna take me out
I'll stand on solid ground. This world's got nothing on me
'Cause I got that fire in my bones, got that power in my soul
I'm a fighter, a survivor, ain't no stopping now
No I'm never giving up 'til I see that kingdom come
Ain't no devil gonna knock me down
I will stand my ground
Ain't no knock me down
I will stand my ground
