-1- |
|
You're at a stand still |
|
You're at an impass |
|
Your mountains of dreams |
|
Seems harder to climb |
|
By those who have made you |
|
Feel like an outcast |
|
Cause you dare to be different |
|
So they're drawing a line |
|
They say you're a fool |
|
They feed you resistance |
|
They tell you you'll never go very far |
|
But they'll be the same ones |
|
That stand in the distance |
|
Alone in the shadow |
|
Of your shining star |
|
CHORUS |
|
Just keep on the same road |
|
And keep on your toes |
|
And just keep your heart steady as she goes |
|
And let them call you what they will |
|
It don't matter |
|
A rose by any name is still a rose |
|
The kindness of strangers |
|
It seems like a fable |
|
But they've yet to see |
|
What I see in you |
|
But you can make it |
|
If you are able |
|
To believe in yourself |
|
The way I do |
|
(chorus) |
|
Cause a deal is a deal |
|
In the heart of the dream |
|
And a spade is a spade |
|
If you know what I mean |
|
And a rose is a rose is a rose |
|
To deal with the scoffers |
|
Well, it's part of the bargain |
|
They heckle from back rows |
|
And they bark at the moon |
|
Their flowers are fading |
|
In time's bitter garden |
|
But yours is only |
|
Beginning to bloom |
|
So keep on that same road |
|
And keep on your toes |
|
And just keep your heart steady as she goes |
|
And let them call you what they will |
|
Just remember |
|
A rose by any name is still a rose |
