The Sword

A choice to make
 A narrow road
 and no easy answers
 Make a stand today
 Small is the gate
 and hardship’s what you’ll face

 Do you see what I‘ve become?
 Or would you stop what I've begun?
 If your scorn is my gain then get out of my way
 And I’ll see you on the road
 If I have the strength for this
 I'll be the one to stand alone
 And if I can overcome
 Will I be the better
 man for it?

 This is the sword
 that divides us all
 Make one wrong move and watch me fall
 The burden of the choices made
 How high the prize
 Never thought you’d pay
 These wounds run deep see
 The fears as they creep
 Now left alone
 Abandoned and cold
 Deserted, defeated
 For the things that you believe in.

 If they turned their back to you
 If they all just turned away from you
 from those who you thought you knew
 What if this is what was asked of you

 A choice to make
 A narrow road
 and no easy answers
 Make a stand today
 Small is the gate
 and hardship’s what you’ll face

 Do you see what I‘ve become?
 Or would you stop what I've begun?
 If your scorn is my gain then get out of my way
 And I’ll see you on the road
 If I have the strength for this
 I'll be the one to stand alone
 And if I can overcome
 Will I be the better
 man for it?
