FACE TO FACE

Face to face and eye to eye,
You meet him on the street.
If you beat him you can put his fists away.
Face to face and eye to eye,
You summon the last of your courage.
You must stand and fight this time.
Face to face and eye to eye,
You stand your ground
This is the job you are paid to do.
Face to face and eye to eye
The big man falls.
Once again you are victorious for all.
Face to face and eye to eye,
You meet your demons every day.
It would have been easier to walk away
But face to face and eye to eye
it’s too late now, the damage is done.
