Pearl — текст песни (Paula Cole)

Humility on Bleecker Street
Exposed my faults until I`m left defeated
It`s been three years into this relationship
This is longer than I could ever commit

But I feel I`m near
But I feel my fear

I`m standing at the edge of another precipice in life
Gotta face my Steppenwolf
Gotta drag you through the mud
When I get there I will see myself
I will look for strength within
I will be a better woman
Hang in there baby, I`m the grain of sand
Becoming the pearl

There are no role models in rock `n` roll
No women who could have it all
The long career, the man, the happy family
And her I stand and God I do demand it

But I feel I`m near
But I feel my fear

I`m standing at the edge of another precipice in life
Gotta face my Steppenwolf
Gotta drag you through the mud
When I get there I will see myself
I will look for strength within
I will be a better woman
Hang in there baby, I`m the grain of sand
Becoming the pearl

It`s dark in here--Don`t know who I am
Memories come--I`m wading through the mood
Evil side--Wants to drag me down
Will power--God please give me some
(I`m hanging onto hope now)

I`m standing at the edge of another precipice in life
Baggage from my family
Going back to therapy
I will kneel, be humble, tow the weight
I will look for strength within
I will be a better woman
Hang in there baby, I`m the grain of sand
Becoming the pearl
