“Standing Tall” was written in January 2019 in the comforts of my living room. When the song was completed I sat back and knew that what was written needed to be shared with others. The song talks about the various challenges we face in life, and that although the storm may knock us down – with the help and support of others we are able to pick ourselves back up and keep moving on.
