## Lyrics
[verse]
I come from a town where the streets ran cold
Nobody handed me a story to be told
I left with a suitcase and a borrowed dime
Looking for a reason, looking for my time

[chorus]
Lai-la-lai, I still remain
After all the losing and the pain
Every blow I've taken made me who I am
Still I stand here fighting, still I understand

[verse]
Cities filled with faces that I'll never know
Promises they whisper, then they let it go
I've worked the corners, slept in doorways cold
Carrying a hunger that I've never sold

[chorus]
Lai-la-lai, I still remain
After all the losing and the pain
Every blow I've taken made me who I am
Still I stand here fighting, still I understand

[bridge]
Out past the ring lights a lone man stretches sore
Every scar reminding him of every storm
Yet he carries on, he won't retreat
Calling out the cost of every fight he'll meet

[chorus]
Lai-la-lai, I still remain
After all the losing and the pain
Every blow I've taken made me who I am
Still I stand here fighting, still I understand
