Face To Face Lyrics

 (Tony Arata) 

 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
