Struggle Songtext

von The Residents

Struggle to hope
Struggle to pray
Struggle to love
Then give it away

Struggle to pity
Struggle to care
Struggle to hide
Whatever is bare

The stars are interruptions to
The darkness of the night
Intruding imperfections that
The night cannot deny
The lack of light invites
A victim and a victim's cry
To pierce its lonely
Suffocation if only with a sigh
Yes it is the stars at night
That give our hopes a home
Suggesting with a little light
That we are not alone

Struggle to reach
Struggle to hold
Struggle to live
Before you get old

Struggle for friendship
Struggle for fun
Struggle for dignity
When there is none

Struggle for honesty
Struggle for truth
Until you discover
Another excuse

Struggle to know
A sensitive touch
It's all that we have
And it's not very much

Struggle with worries
Struggle with fear
Struggle with words
That nobody hears
