    G                    Am                 F
I know there's gotta be rain if I want the rainbows
And I know the higher I climb, the harder the wind blows
Yeah, I've gone to sleep night after night punching a pillow
But do you know the darker the night, the brighter the stars glow?

Chorus:
F              C
'Cause I am resilient
Em             Am
A full flower moment
F              C                G
Won't let the concrete hold me back, oh no
F       C
I am resilient
Em          Am
Born to be brilliant
F               C                      G
You'll see me grow right through the cracks,
                     F                  C
'Cause you're gonna watch this flower grow
                    G
Right through the cracks

Let the sun in, pull out the weeds and focus my vision
'Cause there’s no mistakes, just bends and breaks and friction
But do you know the hotter the fire, the purer the gold is?

Chorus:
'Cause I am resilient
A full flower moment
Won't let the concrete hold me back, oh yeah
I am resilient
Born to be brilliant
I'm gonna grow right through the cracks
Oh

Am
'Cause I died every winter
        F
But survived all the weather
 C
Look at me now, look at me now
        G/B
I'm in full bloom, yeah
Am
They tried to poison the water
   F
But I was a little stronger
 C
Look at me now, look at me now
              G/B
Light up the room, oh yeah

Chorus:
'Cause I am resilient (I am resilient)
A full flower moment
Won't let the concrete hold me back, no
Oh, I am resilient
Born to be brilliant
I'm gonna grow right through the cracks
Oh, you're gonna watch this flower grow
Right through the cracks
