Resilient

Resilient, mmm yeah

A single tear, a plaintive cry

I watch you walk away, and I

I Know you won't be back again

That life will never be the same

Cold empty halls, cold empty souls

A strangers care, till I grow old

Will I be real when I am grown

And have a family of my own

Resilient, that's what I am

Resilient, that's what they say

Resilient, I won't back down

Resilient, get out my way

And then she's back, she looks a mess

She sees I couldn't love her less

It's been so hard, to be away

She says, and stays just one more day

Life marches on, I join the ride

I sail on to the other side

Put miles and seas between our lives

And start again, my family thrives

Resilient, that's what I am

Resilient, that's what they say

Resilient, I won't back down

Resilient, get out my way

So I stand tall, my shoulders square

I give them all a steady stare

Won't let those bastards bring me down

I'll slay that life, I'll wear the crown

I give my kids the love you took

And live the life you couldn't live

I never left or let them down

I slayed that life, I took the crown
