Pearl Lyrics - 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 

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
