Lyrics © D. R. Scharley Consulting Inc.


I'm resilient
I'm fighter
You can count on me when the chips are down
'Cause I'm willing
And I'm able
You will never see me let you down

When the storm comes
And the light fades
I'll be standing tall to see you through
There's no monster
Or no secret
That can keep me away from loving you

(Chorus)
I've been tried
I've been tested
I've been put through the wringer repeatedly
And I lived to see it all
Tried, tested and true
Oh, oh, oh
Tried, tested and true
Oh, oh, oh


Through the fires
And the liars
They have forged a furnace that strengthens me
My salvation
And elation
Comes from a source of purity

I'm the shoulder
That you can lean on
When you're insecure or full of doubt
Like Gibraltar
I don't alter
I will lift you up when you're down and out

(Chorus)
I've been tried
I've been tested
I've been put through the wringer repeatedly
And I lived to see it all
Tried, tested and true
Oh, oh, oh
Tried, tested and true
Oh, oh, oh


I'm resilient

Oh, oh, oh

I've been tried
I've been tested
I've been put through the wringer repeatedly
And I lived to see it all
Tried, tested and true
Oh, oh, oh
Tried, tested and true
Oh, oh, oh
