To this world I am unimportant Just because I have nothing to give So you call this your free country Tell me why it costs so much to live Tell me why This world can turn me down But I won't turn away, oh no I won't turn around All my work and endless measures Never seen to get me very far Walk a mile just to move an inch now Even though I'm trying so damn hard I'm trying so hard This world can turn me down But I won't turn away And I won't duck and run 'Cause I'm not built that way When everything is gone There is nothing left to fear The world cannot bring me down No 'cause I am already here, oh no! I am already here Down on my knees I am already here Oh, no, I am already here I must have told you a thousand times I am not running away. I won't duck and run I won't duck and run I won't duck and run No I pass away This world can turn me down But I won't turn away And I won't duck and run 'Cause I'm not built that way When everything is gone There is nothing left to fear The world cannot bring me down No 'cause I am already here, oh no! This world can turn me down But I won't turn away And I won't duck and run 'Cause I'm not built that way When everything is gone There is nothing left to fear The world cannot bring me down No 'cause I am already here, oh no!
