I’m Still Standing Lyrics

I Am The Elder Utah Smith
I’ve Got Two Wings To Fly
They May Be Made Of Paper
They May Never Reach The Sky
But I Believe In Mercy
I Believe That Man Is Good
And If They Want Two Wings Like Me
There’s A Chance They Could

I Am The Elder Utah Smith
I Was Born In Cedar Grove
That’s In Louisiana
On A Dirt-poor Stretch Of Road
I Found The Calling Early
Gave Birth To Righteous Words
And In A Tent Around The South
I Took My Sonic Church

I Was A Light For The Living
And I Spoke Of Peace And Love
With Two Wings And My Old Gibson
I Bought Blessings From Above
I Was Here And I Was Gone
Just A Heartbeat From The Past
But I Went From Paper Wings
To The Real Thing At Last

I Am The Elder Utah Smith
I Take All As They Are
I Was The First Man Of The Cloth
To Blacken A Guitar
Love Was My Redeemer
I Felt It From The Start
The Holy Ghost Was Channeled
Through The Sound Of My Guitar

I Was A Light For The Living
And I Spoke Of Peace And Love
With Two Wings And My Old Gibson
I Bought Blessings From Above
I Was Here And I Was Gone
Just A Heartbeat From The Past
But I Went From Paper Wings
To The Real Thing At Last

Been A Long Time In The Ground
Unmarked Is My Grave
But I Reside Elsewhere These Days
Thanks To Souls I’ve Savedyou
Could Never Know What It’s Like
Your Blood Like Winter Freezes
Just Like Ice
And There’s A Cold Lonely Light
That Shines From You
You’ll Wind Up Like The Wreck You
Hide Behind That Mask You Use

And Did You Think This Fool Could Never Win?
Well, Look At Me, I’m A-coming Back Again
I Got A Taste Of Love In A Simple Way
And If You Need To Know While
I’m Still Standing You Just Fade Away

Don’t You Know I’m Still
Standing Better Than I Ever Did?
Looking Like A True Survivor,
Feeling Like A Little Kid
And I’m Still Standing After
All This Time
Picking Up The Pieces Of My
Life Without You On My Mind

I’m Still Standing.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I’m Still Standing.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Once I Never Could’ve
Hoped To Win
You’re Starting Down The
Road Leaving Me Again
The Threats You Made Were
Meant To Cut Me Down
And If Our Love Was Just A
Circus You’d Be A Clown By Now

You Know I’m Still Standing
Better Than I Ever Did
Looking Like A True Survivor,
Feeling Like A Little Kid
I’m Still Standing After
All This Time
Picking Up The Pieces Of My
Life Without You On My Mind

I’m Still Standing.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I’m Still Standing.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Don’t You Know That I’m Still
Standing Better Than I Ever Did?
Looking Like A True Survivor,
Feeling Like A Little Kid
And I’m Still Standing After
All This Time
Picking Up The Pieces Of My Life
Without You On My Mind

I’m Still Standing.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I’m Still Standing.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I’m Still Standing.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I’m Still Standing.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I’m Still Standing.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I’m Still Standing.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I Traveled Far,
I Traveled Wide
Three Quarts For The Lord
Till One Day He Called Me Home
To Claim His Great Reward

I Was A Light For The Living
And I Spoke Of Peace And Love
With Two Wings And My Old Gibson
I Bought Blessings From Above
I Was Here And I Was Gone
Just A Heartbeat From The Past
But I Went From Paper Wings
To The Real Thing At Last

I Was A Light For The Living
And I Spoke Of Peace And Love
With Two Wings And My Old Gibson
I Bought Blessings From Above
I Was Here And I Was Gone
Just A Heartbeat From The Past
But I Went From Paper Wings
To The Real Thing At Last
