Song Lyrics

"A Principled Man"

by Steve Taylor
Album: Now The Truth Can Be Told - Disc 2

Under a flag they sword a bond; caught under fire they ran,
Are you the one standing your ground' Are you a principled man'
Followers fall, blinded by kings, lost in the lie of the land,
Are you the one sworn to be true' Are you a principled man'

Now, begin,
Come alongside it,
Seize the wind,
Come along, ride it,
One day it will be you believing there is a principled man,
Who goes there'
Do you belong, lad'
You know there is a new dawn, and one day to say, "Stick with me, baby, I am a principled man."

Many's the man, grounded by greed, leaning on power and land,
Show me the one lost in the stars, show me a principled man.

Now, begin,
Seize the wind.

Who goes there' Do you belong, lad'
You know there is a new dawn, and one day to say, "Stick with me, baby, I am a principled man."

Bleeding and hushed, hung between thieves: there the foundation began,
Are you the one taking your cross'
Are you a principled man' (are you a principled man')

Under a flag they sword a bond; caught under fire they ran, (are you a principled man')
Are you the one standing your ground' Are you a principled man' (are you a principled man')
Followers fall, blinded by kings, lost in the lie of the land, (are you a principled man')
Are you the one sworn to be true' Are you a principled man'
Many's the man, grounded by greed, leaning on power and land, (are you a principled man')
Show me the one lost in the stars, show me a principled man.
