I.
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
II.
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 they've yet to come to terms
Alone I take my stand, I'm only a man against the world
Bridge:
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
III.
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
