Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everyone's born as clean as a whistle
As fresh as a daisy, and not a bit crazy
Staying that way's a hard row for hoeing
As rough as a briar, like walking through fire
[Verse 2]
This world, it's dark, this world, it's scary
I've taken some hits, so no wonder I'm wary
It's why I need you
You're as pure as the driven snow
[Verse 3]
Everyone wants to be like a hero
The cake with the cream or the doer, not dreamer
Oh, doing's hard work, but it takes some to change things
Like goat's milk to butter, like ice blocks to water
[Verse 4]
This world goes blind when children are dying
I turn into dust, but you never stop trying
It's why I love you
You're as pure as the driven snow
[Bridge]
Cold and clean
Swirling over my skin
You cloak me
You soak right in down to my heart
[Verse 5]
Everyone thinks they know all about me
They slap me with labels and spit out their fables
You came along, and you knew it was lying
You saw the ideal me
And yes, that's the real me
[Verse 6]
This world, it's cruel with troubles aplenty
You asked for a reason, I've got three and twenty
For why I trust you
You're as pure as the driven snow
[Outro]
It's why I trust you
You're as pure as the driven snow
