And how I know I'll make it through
And they, they look at me in frown
They'd like to drive me from this town
They don't want me around
And they show me to the door
They say, don't come back no more
Cause I don't be like they like me too
And I, I walk out on my own
A thousand miles from home
Even through the tears and the laughter
Even though we'd be apart
even on the morning after
Oh, when the dawn is nearing
Oh, when the night is disappearing
Oh, this feeling is still here in my heart
Don't let me drift too far
or I will always be renewed
And that what you've given me today
Is worth more than I can pay
when winter turns to summer
when white turns to black
even though I be outnumbered
Oh, though the earth may shake me,
Though my friends forsake me, oh
Even that won't make me go back
Don't let me change my heart
From all the plans I do pursue
And I, I don't mind the pain
I don't mind the driving rain
