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
