Pure As the Driven Snow

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 This world, it's dark And this world, it's scary I've taken some hits, so no wonder I'm wary It's why I need you You're pure as the driven snow Everyone wants to be like a hero The cake with the cream, or the doer not dreamer Doing's hard work, it takes some to change things Like goat's milk to butter, like ice blocks to water 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 pure as the driven snow Cold and clean swirling over my skin You cloak me, you soak right in Down to my heart Everyone thinks they know all about me They slap me with labels, they spit out their fables You came along, you knew it was lying You saw the ideal me And yes, that's the real me This world, it's cruel With troubles a-plenty You asked for a reason I've got three and twenty For why I trust you You're pure as the driven snow, ooh-ooh... That's why I trust you You're pure as the driven snow
