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
