To this world I'm 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 seem 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 there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I'm already here,
I am already here, down on my knees
I am already here, 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 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 there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I'm already here
