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
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
and 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
