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 have walked the path from dark to light

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 the answer's clearer

Someday when I even the score

You'll reach and you'll find me near you

Right beside you, forevermore

But for now I'll walk the night alone

Like a man against the world

A brand new day will shine

Through the avalanche of time

Now the road's grown long but the spirit's strong

And the fire within still burns

Alone I take my stand

I give you a man against the world
