One Man Lyrics

To know that freedom as a rule belongs to me

There's something very wrong

When the colour 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

Bridge

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
