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 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 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
