Resilient

Citizen Soldier

(Oh)

If the old me could see who I am now
For getting up more times than I got knocked down

Really good at failing
Comfortable with breaking
Sensitive to sympathy
Really good at failing
Comfortable with breaking
Praying for persistency

I'm not special, I ain't brilliant
I'm not gifted, I'm resilient
You'll never keep me down
You'll never keep me down
I'm not fearless, I just faced it
I'm not different, just embraced it
You'll never keep me down
Look what it made me now

The times that I love most to reminisce
I traded talented for stubbornness

Really good at failing
Comfortable with breaking
Developed in my own defeat
Comforted in losing
Breaking down and bruising
Failing but I keep receipts

I'm not special, I ain't brilliant
I'm not gifted, I'm resilient
You'll never keep me down
You'll never keep me down
I'm not fearless, I just faced it
I'm not different, just embraced it
You'll never keep me down
Look what it made me now

I swept while the privileged sleep
Outworked people better than me
I collect mistakes
Til they resonate
There's no growth in keeping the score
I bow down kept chasing those storms
I collect mistakes
Til they resonate

I'm not special, I ain't brilliant
I'm not gifted, I'm resilient
You'll never keep me down
You'll never keep me down
I'm not fearless, I just faced it
I'm not different, just embraced it
You'll never keep me down
Look what it made me now

(Hey)
(Mmm)
If the old me could see who I am now
They'd get up more times than they got knocked down
