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 to light And have 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 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 gone And the fire within still burns Alone I take my stand I give you a man against the world
