Lyrics
Resist
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I can learn to resist
Anything but temptation
I can learn to co-exist
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
Without surrender
You can fight
Without ever winning
But never ever win
Win without a fight
