Duck and Run
(Lyrics by Arnold)
(Music by Roberts, Arnold, Harrell & Henderson)
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
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, oh no!
I am already here, down
On my knees
I am already here, on no, 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 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
When everything is gone there is
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
Is nothing there to fear
This world cannot
Bring me down
No cause I’m already here
