|
There was a bad boy in the school yard |
|
Waited on you every day |
|
Seemed like every time you turned around |
|
Well he was standin' in your way |
|
Well he broke your glasses |
|
The girls all laughed |
|
As he pushed you to the floor |
|
But then you stood up one day knowin' |
|
You couldn't stand it anymore |
|
And your gentle hand was finally clenched in rage |
|
You were face to face |
|
Face to face with the devil that you've been dreadin' |
|
Eye to eye finally has arrived |
|
But bad as it was, well now brother wasn't it better |
|
Dealin' with him face to face |
|
Your date showed up with flowers |
|
And you thought your dreams had come |
|
But with every passing hour |
|
You felt it come undone |
|
Then the night exploded and you begged him no |
|
But he forever changed your life |
|
And now he waits a judge and jury |
|
Thinkin' you'll break down inside |
|
And with a finger you can put his fists away |
|
And you're face to face |
|
Face to face with the devil that you've been dreadin' |
|
Eye to eye finally has arrived |
|
But bad as it was, well little sister wasn't it better |
|
Dealin' with him face to face |
|
'Cause it'll never go away |
|
Until the fear that you are runnin' from is finally embraced |
|
Drivin' by the grave yard |
|
On a wicked winter's eve |
|
And you're wonderin' why a man of faith |
|
Is whistlin' nervously |
|
Then you stop the car |
|
And you hold your heart |
|
'Cause you finally realize |
|
Hell, the devil ain't in the darkness |
|
He's a'rattlin' 'round inside |
|
And with folded hands you truly start to pray |
|
And you're face to face |
|
Face to face with the devil that you've been dreadin' |
|
Eye to eye finally has arrived |
|
But bad as it was, well now brother wasn't it better |
|
Dealin' with him face to face |
|
'Cause it'll never go away |
|
Until the fear that you are runnin' from is finally embraced |
|
Face to face |
