about

"Resilient" was inspired by teenage Pakastani activist Malala Yousafzai, who survived a Taliban assassination attempt and went on to receive the Nobel Peace Prize.

Whether you’ve been knocked down literally or figuratively, this song is a tribute to you and your resilience.

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 oh when you let your colors show
You’re a wildflower, you won’t be down for long
Resilient, you’re brilliant, you’re strong

You show 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
Resilient, you’re brilliant, you’re stronger than you know
Resilient, stronger than you know
You’re brilliant
Oh, when you let your colors show
You’re a wildflower, you won’t be down for long
Resilient, you’re brilliant, you’re strong
You’re a wildflower, in a field of gray concrete.

Patricia Bahia Los Angeles, California

Her music is highly melodic pop and draws comparisons to Sara Bareilles, Colbie Caillat, and Brandi Carlile. ... more
