Face to Face Lyrics

There was a bad boy in the school yard He 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 And 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 prayers had come But with every passing hour You watched 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, now 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 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
Face to face
