I can learn to resist
Anything but temptation
I can learn to coexist
With anything but pain

I can learn [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 
Anything but my desires
I can learn to get along
With all the things I can't explain
