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
