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
