I’m Still Standing

To exist is political. Mike looks back on his 3-year quest with both triumph and remorse, performing a cappella the Elton John smash hit "I'm Still Standing."

You 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 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.
I'm still standing after all this time,
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind.

I'm still standing…
I'm still standing.

Once I never could have 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…
I'm still standing.

Don't you know that 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,
I'm still standing…

I'm still standing,
I'm still standing…

I'm still standing,
I'm still standing…

I'm still standing,
I'm still standing.
