I can learn to resist
Anything but temptation
I can learn to coexist

With anything but pain

I can learn to compromise

Anything but my desires
I can learn to get along
With all the things I can't explain


I can learn to resist
Anything but frustration

I can learn to persist
With anything but aiming low


I can learn to close my eyes
To anything but injustice
I can learn to get along

With all the things I don't know

You can surrender

Without a prayer
But never really pray
Pray without surrender


You can fight
Without ever winning

But never ever win
Without a fight


I can learn to resist
Anything but temptation
I can learn to coexist

With anything but pain

I can learn to compromise

Anything but my desires
I can learn to get along
With all the things I can't explain
