To this world I'm unimportant   Just because I have nothing to give   So you call this your free country   Tell me why it cost so much to live      Tell me why   This world can turn me down?   But I won't turn away, oh no   And 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's nothing there to fear   This world cannot bring me down, no 'cause I am already here, oh no      I'm already here, down on my knees   I'm already here, oh no, I'm already here   I must have told you a thousand times   I'm not running away      I won't duck and run   I won't duck and run   I won't duck and run   No, no, 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's nothing there to fear   This world cannot bring me down no, 'cause I'm already here      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's nothing there to fear   This world cannot bring me down, no 'cause I'm already here
