The Flesh Is Weak Lyrics

I know there's a tiger down inside of me
And though I try hard to tame it
It's always fighting to be free
Sometimes I try to be open, but doors keep closing
I try to show that I'm okay outside
But inside I'm exploding
The flesh is weak and the heart is willing
The flesh is weak and the heart is willing
The flesh is weak and the heart is willing
The flesh is weak and the heart is willing

In the eye of the hurricane I seem to always live
I hold back affection with the friendship I can give
And when my heart's in a safe place, then I get reckless
I try to show that I'm okay outside
But inside I'm exploding
The flesh is weak and the heart is willing
The flesh is weak and the heart is willing
The flesh is weak and the heart is willing
The flesh is weak and the heart is willing
The flesh is weak and the heart is willing
The flesh is weak and the heart is willing
The flesh is weak and the heart is willing
The flesh is weak and the heart is willing
I know there's a tiger down inside of me
One foot in the doorway of my sanity
And when I call out to someone that I need helping
I try to show that I'm okay outside
But inside I'm exploding

The flesh is weak and the heart is willing
