to this world im 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 wont turn away. oh no

and i wont turn around



all my work to endless measures

never seem to get me very far

walk a mile just to move an inch

now even though im trying so

damn hard

im trying so hard



this world can turn me down but i

wont turn away

and i wont duck and run, cause

im not built that way

when everything has gone there is

nothing left to fear

this world cannot bring me down

no cause im already here. oh no!



i am already here, down

on my knees

i am already here, oh no, i am

aleady here

i must have told you a thousand

times i am not running away



i wont duck and run

i wont duck and run

i wont duck and run

no no no pass away



this world can turn me down but i

wont turn away

and i wont duck and run, cause

im not built that way

when everything is gone there is

nothing left to fear

this world cannot

bring me down

no cause im already here.



this world can turn me down but i

wont turn away

and i wont duck and run, cause

im not built that way

when everything is gone there is

nothing left to fear

this world cannot

bring me down

no cause im already here
