As I Lay Dying - Resilience lyrics

Your resilience inspires me Facing tragedies I will never face Your presence is humbling To think of all that you have overcome It took such little pain For our lives to coalesce Finding what I could've found in no one else You bring me through the darkness of myself And show me that frailty can be turned to strength Suffering Persistence Such sorrow Yet resilience From the outside I've deceived the world With false bravery Yet you have taught me so much more Much more than I can ever teach And someday you might Need someone to lean on I can only hope that I'll have gained the courage To be there for you in whatever you face You bring me trough (you bring me through) The darkness of myself And show me that frailty (can be turned) Can be turned to strength Suffering Persistence Such sorrow Yet resilience At times I'm carried on the shoulders of a child I find power in your firm fallibility My source of hope is seeing that weak prevail And I'm better able to live because you're alive I could not imagine a world without you Where I looked you in the eyes and left you to die Suffering Persistence Such sorrow Yet resilience
