From the recording Save Your Heart
Lyrics
RESILIENT
You're a wildflower in a field of gray concrete
A flash of color in the dark, in empty echoes of the street
Starting from a seed of hope, blowing in the wind,
You’ve put down roots and broken through the pavement like it’s paper-thin
But when you go against the crowd
They try to cut you down
You cannot be broken
You’re rising from the ground
Resilient, stronger than you know
You’re brilliant when you let your colors show
You’re a wildflower, you won’t be down for long
Resilient, you’re brilliant, you're strong
A lone voice in the desert in a thousand miles of heat
Some days you wonder how you’re standing on your feet
When you feel you’re growing weak and no one hears your cries
Remember you are here on Earth to bloom and to inspire
You won’t bow down to the crowd
When they try to cut you down
You will not be broken
You’re rising from the ground
Resilient, stronger than you know
You’re brilliant when you let your colors show
You’re a wildflower, you won’t be down for long
You’re Resilient, you’re brilliant, you’re strong
You showed me how
When I’m down, I can get back up again
and again and again
Resilient, stronger than you know
You’re brilliant when you let your colors show
You’re a wildflower, you won’t be down for long
You’re Resilient, you’re brilliant, you’re strong
You're a wildflower, in a field of gray concrete…
