Lyrics

The Man with a Sword
By Daryl Stevenett
(Verse 1)
Son you are a father, and you still have me
And I had a father, it’s all in our history
A long line of voices, through the ashes of war
There stood a young warrior, the man with a sword
(Chorus)
So when the nights feel so heavy, and the daylight feels cold
When the burdens of living, are too much to hold
Remember the one, who never gave up
Through battles and fire, he lifted his cup
And each night I thank God, I thank the Lord
Because of that man, the man with a sword
(Verse 2)
There was a hard season, when the nights grew so long
But he kept marching forward, like an old steady song
Through battles and sorrow, a new day was born
And still he stood strong, that man with a sword
(Chorus)
So when the nights feel so heavy, and the daylight feels cold
When the voices of doubt, try to capture your soul
Remember the one, who never gave in
Who fought through the shadows, determined to win
With courage and wounds, that cut to his core
Remember that man, the man with a sword
(Verse 3)
And now my son fights, against battles of fear
He carries his weapon, a voice strong and clear
With his fingers on strings, and a few simple chords
The sword is his pen, and the power of words
(Chorus/outro)
So when the nights feel so heavy son, and the daylight feels cold
When the struggles of living, cut deep in your soul
Remember the one, who never gave up
Who fought his way forward, with the power of love
Each night I thank God, I thank the Lord
and I thank that man, the man with a sword
Always remember, that man, the man with a sword
