Face To Face

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
