Caer de Pie

She was dancing when no one was watching
Within those four walls, nothing mattered
Only the sound of the music taking her to another place

But the cold hands in the morning
And the well-rehearsed fake smile
Disguised that something was wrong inside

With a little bit of silence, you'll silence the thoughts
Step by step, take a breath, they won't defeat you

So keep dreaming, keep singing
Life doesn't stop even if you drown in tears
And draw strength from wherever you can
And don't dwell on foolish words

With your head held high so they can see you
Being alone won't break you
What they don't tell you is that
It's also okay to fall standing up

Head up soldier when you're facing wars
'Cause warriors are made up by scars
Hiding your wings won't get you too far
But taste the ground before trying to fly

Oh, the pain that wasn't even visible
Posing for your photographs
But you knew well what you were pretending
That there was no chaos in your life

And looks and whispers that felt eternal
You went to heaven more than five times
With promises and wishes that went unanswered
While everyone told you 'give time to time'

If only you knew it will soon pass
That slowly the pieces start to fit
That seven turns around the sun fly by
And with the years, memories of the damages separate

(And you) keep dreaming, keep singing
Life doesn't stop even if you drown in tears
And draw strength from wherever you can
And don't dwell on foolish words

With your head held high so they can see you
Being alone won't break you
What they don't tell you is that
It's also okay to fall standing up

Sometimes the good ones get hit the hardest
Sometimes the pain makes you a better artist
But hang in there love 'cause all that's left is hope

You'll find yourself in a bed of roses
You'll find yourself laughing with your monsters
Befriend the dark side that lives within your soul

But you keep dreaming, keep singing
Life didn't stop nor did you drown in tears
And draw strength from wherever you can
And don't dwell on foolish words

With your head held high so they can see you
Being alone won't break you
What you still don't know is that
You could fall standing up
You fell standing up
