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 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'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 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 Everything is gone There is nothing left to fear This world cannot bring me down No 'cause I am 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 Everything is gone There is nothing there to fear This world cannot bring me down No 'cause I am already here
