Resist

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

I, I-I
I, I
I, I-I

You can surrender without a prayer
But never really pray
Pray without surrender

You can fight
Fight without ever winning
But never ever win
Without a fight

Hou-ho, hou-ho, ho, ho
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

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

I, I-I
I, I
I, I-I
I
