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 tonight   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 your answer's clearer   Someday, when I even the score,   You'll reach, and you'll find me near you   Right beside you, forever more.      But for now   I’ll walk the night alone like   A man Against the World   A brand new day will shine   Though the avalanche of time.   Now the road's grown long, but the spirit's strong   And the fire within stills burns   Alone I take my stand   I give you a man, against the world
