|
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 |
