Borrowed Words: Resist (Rush)

Resist

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.

Unlearn. Learn.

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.

Unlearn. Learn.
