Paula Cole Pearl Lyrics

Pearl Lyrics

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 

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 ther baby, I`m the grain of sand 
Becoming the pearl
