Still I Resist

Daybreak, a lovely morning A chance for heaven like the dawn of time But no, when my eyes open I see a mountain; I see a long uphill climb And even though I know It all begins by letting go Still I resist Still I resist Must be crazy, think I'm Joe Frazier Fighting each moment as if I could win Big surprise, where does it get me Same old frustration same old place I've always been In books of truth I read What life brings is what I need Still I resist Still I resist Ooh, what I've missed The wind moves the night air The leaves fall, they don't care why I feel that, I get it So why don't I let it fly, fly But me, I got opinions I got to nail it, nail it all down It's no good; it's like nailing down water Life is a liquid rolling through town Through town I'm just a frightened boy And when it's time to take my joy Still I resist Still I resist Ooh, what I've missed The wind moves the night air The leaves fall, they don't care why But I care why, I care I know that, I get it It's so hard to let it fly And let it go by Yeah, me and all those brilliant opinions Always having to nail it, nail every damn thing down It's no good; wanna put down this hammer Love is a liquid and I wanna drown Oh, please, let me exhale now And if I fail now at least I'll know I tried I tried
