Pearl Lyrics

by 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 ever could 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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e85831-paula_cole~pearl_lyrics.html ]
There are no roll models in rock 'n' roll
No women who could have it all
The long career, the man, the happy family
And here I stand and god I do demand it
And 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 moon
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 their baby, I'm the grain of sand
Becoming the pearl.
