A definitive explanation of what should be meant by resilience was provided by Tina Turner in May 2018, declaring to Marie Claire:
“People think my life has been tough, but I think it’s been a wonderful journey. The older you get, the more you realize that it’s not what happen but how you deal with it.”
On days when you’re feeling a little down, hearing Tina Turner is really a breath of explosive energy good for the soul. Everything about her conveyed strength, starting with her voice, her movements, her music. Her life represented the power of optimism despite the difficulties. Despite the separation of her parents and the repeated violence she suffered from her first husband to name but a few.
Optimism as evident in the lyrics of “We Don’t Need Another Hero.”
Out of the ruins
Can’t make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation (the last generation, generation)
We are the ones they left behind
Living under the fear, ’til nothing else remains
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond Thunderdome
There’s gotta be something better out there
Ooh, love and compassion
Their day is coming (coming)
All else are castles built in the air
Living under the fear, ’til nothing else remains
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond Thunderdome
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a light or end in the dark?
Give it all or nothing
We don’t need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond Thunderdome
We don’t need to know the way home, ooh
All we want is life beyond Thunderdome
