From this pool of sorrow, I climb
Knowing my pain will become strength in time
Oh these hardships that I face from the start
I use as a stone to sharpen the blade of my heart
And with this blade, I’m gonna cut myself free
From these nets that would bind and keep me
‘Cause From this pool of sorrow, I climb
Knowing my pain will become strength in time
I gotta walk a proud line, my friend
I gotta walk a proud line
I gotta walk a proud line, my friend
I gotta walk a proud line
Oh my pain is a seed of knowledge
I must sow
With blood, sweat and tears
Into wisdom it will grow
Ghost of insecurity
You’ve bent me enough
Now let me be
You can’t keep me down
Cause through these struggles I only gain
Strength and wisdom
To see me through
Your storms of lightning thunder and rain
‘Cause From this pool of sorrow, I climb
Knowing my pain will become strength in time
I gotta walk a proud line, my friend
I gotta walk a proud line
I gotta walk a proud line, my friend
I gotta walk a proud line
Soul so willing and my flesh is so weak
I don’t know if this is a promise I can keep
Soul so willing and my flesh is so weak
Oh this passion’s keeping me from the things I was born to seek
Soul so willing and my flesh is so weak
I don’t know, just don’t, if this is a promise I can keep
(Ooh la, la, la, la...)
Can’t you see, my brain I must prove to be under my soul
For when my brain leads the way, sorrow is the toll
These things of confusion have taken their control
But someday I will prove my mind is slave to my soul
Yeah, you know, soul is so willing but my flesh is so weak
Soul so willing and my flesh is so weak
Yeah, you know, soul is so willing but my flesh, so damn weak
Soul so willing and my flesh is so weak
So I don’t know, I don’t know if this is a promise I can keep
