Your at a stand still, Your at an impasse
Your mountain 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 the 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
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
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; well that's part of the bargain,
They heckle from back rows and they bark at the moon
Their flowers are fading in times bitter garden
But yours is only beginning to bloom
Just keep on the same road and keep on your toes
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
Ooh, a rose by any name is still a rose
Your mountain 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 the 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
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
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; well that's part of the bargain,

Ooh, a rose by any name is still a rose
