You're at a stand still

You're at an impasse

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

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

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

'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

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

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

A rose by any name is still a rose
