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 till the end is near
And the hero takes a fall.
Then they'll drag you through the mud.
You're only flesh and blood.
Oh 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 santuary
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.
