For Who You Are

Some people hold on tight to every story they've been told
Hiding in the dark from the unknown
They'll play your judge and jury and start firing up the tar
But I swear I'll always love you for who you are

Some people go against the grain, some stick to their own guns
But you keep your head high through all the dust
Oh, there's beauty waiting in the mirror for anyone who wants
Oh, I swear I'll always love you, I swear I'll always love you
I swear I'll always love you for who you are

Sometimes, you've gotta walk alone
Past every heart that's made of stone
Pushing on
'Cause every day you bare your soul
Another follows on the road
So lay it down all on the line
'Cause we don't got a thing to hide, no

Some sit and think of the good ol' days, some leave and catch a bus
But you're digging in the ground with your feet down in the weeds, not giving up
Oh, they try to cut you down 'cause you stand taller in the yard
But I swear I'll always love you, I swear I'll always love you
I swear I'll always love you for who you are

Oh, sometimes, you've gotta walk alone
Past every heart that's made of stone
Pushing on
The beating heart with no regrets
The unsung hero, the blood and sweat
Yeah, lay it down all on the line
'Cause we don't got a thing to hide

You sit beside a martyr and you might share the same scars
Oh, I hope you'll always love me, I hope you'll always love me
I hope you'll always love me for what's in my heart
