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 and..

This world can turn me down
But I wont 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'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 I will 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 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.
When everything is gone there's nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down, no, 'cause I am already here.
