Lyrics
The Sword
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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?
