They came with the shears in July. Cut her down to the stem and walked away. But something was moving underneath the clay.
“Still Standing” is a song about the zinnia — and everything the zinnia represents. The thing that gets cut down and comes back harder. The faith that doesn’t need good soil to grow. He didn’t choose the penthouse garden. He called by name in the broken yard. Written by Clinton Steward. Grown in Marietta, Georgia.
Lyrics
Verse 1
They came with the shears in July
Said she'd never make it past the line
Cut her down to the stem, walked away
But something was moving underneath the clay
Roots don't argue, roots don't explain
They just drink whatever comes — the sun, the rain
Pre-Chorus
Petal by petal, color she never chose
Pink she didn't pick, gold she didn't know
Growing in dirt nobody would water with a hose
Chorus
Still standing like a zinnia in the yard
Cut me back, I just bloom harder
Planted in the worst soil — Jesus saw the yard
Said, That's exactly where I start
Still standing when they said I wouldn't last
Every scar just made the color brighter
I didn't choose the garden — He already had the map
Still standing, still standing
Verse 2
She dropped everything she was holding
Fell apart on purpose in the wind
Jesus said that's how it starts
The dying is the discipline
And everywhere she landed, something opened up
Little zinnias in the gravel, in the gutter, in the dust
Turns out falling was the giving
Turns out giving was enough
Pre-Chorus
Petal by petal, broke and beautiful
Every piece that fell became a seed
He wastes nothing — that's the miracle
Chorus
Still standing like a zinnia in the yard
Cut me back, I just bloom harder
Planted in the worst soil — Jesus saw the yard
Said, That's exactly where I start
Still standing when they said I wouldn't last
Every scar just made the color brighter
I didn't choose the garden — He already had the map
Still standing, still standing
Bridge
Wildflower Girl
I'm not the rose behind the glass
I'm the one that grew through the crack
Jesus knelt in the dirt for that
Hands in the soil, thorns on His back
He could've picked the penthouse garden
Could've grown me somewhere clean
But He called me by name in the broken yard
And that's where I learned what standing means
Final Chorus
Still standing like a zinnia in the yard
Cut me back, I just bloom harder
Planted in the worst soil — Jesus saw the yard
Said, That's exactly where I start
Still standing when they said I wouldn't last
Every scar just made the color brighter
I didn't choose the garden — He already had the map
Still standing, still standing
Outro
Still standing, still standing
They keep cutting and I keep coming back
He called me by name in the garden
And wildflowers don't grow looking back
