Lyrics
My momma said I couldn't,
My papa said I shouldn't,
My brothers said I wouldn't,
But I don't care;
My sister thinks I'm too weak,
My school chums thought me too meek,
They all think only fools seek
What I will dare.
I want to reach as far as any man can go.
For me, the average seems contemptible and low.
though there are many hurdles still blocking my way,
I will achieve great things, though maybe not today.
Chorus:
I am resilient. There's nothing stopping me.
I am resilient. I'll be what I can be.
I am resilient. I'm always wanting more.
I am resilient. I'm better than before.
Although I'm often told
That I'm getting too old,
My will hasn't grown cold--
No, I'll still try.
Although I'm often weary,
I must always stay leery
Of thoughts that life's a dreary
Plod till you die.
Repeat 3rd verse and Chorus
We all are animals if all we do is eat and sleep.
Is it just overweening pride to try to take the leap?
If everyone just listened to those people who say "No,"
What kind of world would this have been? Would anybody grow?
Repeat first three verses and Chorus
