They tried to break me, tried to keep me low
Laughed in my face, told me"Girl, just go"
I heard 'em whisper, I felt 'em shove
But I kept on movin, push come to shove
Oh, I bend but I don't break
I rise up with each mistake
Took the hits, took the falls
Still standin, took 'em all
(Resilience)
Ain't no chain gonna hold me down
(Resilience)
I keep rollin' town to town
Tried to school me, but I walked my way
Failed their tests but I found my say
They slammed the doors, I kicked 'em wide
Made my own road, took back my pride
Oh, I bend but I don't break
I rise up with each mistake
Took the hits, took the falls
Still standin, took 'em all
(Resilience)
Ain't no chain gonna hold me down
(Resilience)
I keep rollin' town to town
They say the strong survive, well, I believe it's true
But it ain't just the strongest
It's the ones who push through
Oh, I bend but I don't break
I rise up with each mistake
Took the hits, took the falls
Still standin, took 'em all
(Resilience)
Ain't no chain gonna hold me down
(Resilience)
I keep rollin' town to town
From the dust, from the fire, from the long, dark night
From the lost and forgotten, I step into the light
I took their stones, I built my ground
Ain't no way I'm turnin' 'round
Oh, I bend but I don't break
I rise up with each mistake
Took the hits, took the falls
Still standin, took 'em all
(Resilience)
Ain't no chain gonna hold me down
(Resilience)
I keep rollin' town to town
Oh, resilience (Still standin, still fightin)
Oh, resilience (Still runnin, still risin)
Resilience (I keep rollin' town to town)
Resilience
