Xaviera: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

This song is very special to me. I've been through a lot in my life but by the grace of God I managed to hang in there. I wrote Still Shining to share a little bit of my story with others and to let others who may be having a hard time right now know there is hope and things will get better. Things may be dark right now but the sun is Still Shining.

Life ain't been easy/Especially for me/Lawd, I've had more drama/Than Lifetime TV/Said I've been dead broke/Had my heart broke/No food to eat/No lights/No heat/But, through it all/I remained strong/And continued to hold on/Cause I know/CHORUS: When the storms of life get me down/I know I can make it/Cause through the rain/I can see/The sun still shining/When I don't know which way to go/I know I'll be alright/Cause through the rain/I can see/The sun still shining/I'm a survivor/I won't give up/But, so many nights I've cried asking God/Why my life was so rough/Cause I've been lied on/Talked about/Had my reputation turned inside out/But, through it all/I remained strong/And continued to hold on/Cause I know/CHORUS/If your rent it two months behind and you ain't got a dime/If he left you all alone to raise those kids on your own/If you're feeling down and lost cause you just got laid off/If you've been a victim of life just know you'll be alright/And sing with me/CHORUS
