Man Against The World

Have you ever walked
Alone at night, like
A man against the world
No one takes your side
A boat against the tide
When your faith is shaken
You start to break
And your heart can't find the words.
Tossed upon the sand
I give you a man
Against the world

All the people cheer
'til the end is near
And the hero takes a fall.
Then they'll drag you through the mud
You're only flesh and blood.
Now I've walked the path,
From dark tonight
And they've yet to come to terms
Alone I take my stand
I'm only a man, against the world.

But love, like a distant reminder,
It tugs at my shoulder,
It calls me home.
I shout, can a single voice carry,
Will I find sanctuary within your arms.
Someday, when your answer's clearer
Someday, when I even the score,
You'll reach, and you'll find me near you
Right beside you, forever more.

But for now
I'll walk the night alone like
A man Against the World
A brand new day will shine
Though the avalanche of time.
Now the road's grown long, but the spirit's strong
And the fire within stills burns
Alone I take my stand
I give you a man, against the world
