Pearl

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, happy family

And here 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 moon

Evil side, wants to drag me down

Will power, God, please give me some

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
