One Man

It's a peaceful thing to know that freedom as a rule belongs to me

There's something very wrong when the color of a man is all you see

After all this time how can a single voice explain

Any reason for the pain we all have seen

It's not a dream



Chorus:

One man stood tall

And faced the devil with his back to the wall

And took one step closer to heaven above



So he took a stand and walked where no one else would dare to even try

It was the only way

If not for bravery, the soul would surely die

And right before my eyes he gave his life unselfishly

So that all the father's children could be free

Like you and me



Repeat chorus



Before his work is done

We've got to put an end to this game of choosing sides

I want us to be one

And i won't let it go 'till it's over

I'm here waiting



Repeat chorus



I'm waiting, waiting
