Song | One Man |
Artist | Richard Marx |
Album | Paid Vacation |
[ti:One Man] | |
[ar:Richard marx] | |
[00:24.53] | It ’s a peaceful thing |
[00:28.35] | To know that freedom as a rule belongs to me |
[00:33.93] | There ’s something very wrong |
[00:38.25] | When the color of a man |
[00:41.40] | Is all you see |
[00:44.55] | After all this time |
[00:46.38] | How can a single voice explain |
[00:49.22] | Any reason for the pain we all have seen |
[00:54.40] | It ’s not a dream |
[00:58.21] | Chorus |
[01:02.12] | One man stood tall |
[01:03.69] | And faced the devil with his back to the wall |
[01:13.75] | And took one step |
[01:15.98] | Closer to Heaven above |
[01:24.38] | So he took a stand |
[01:28.49] | And walked where no one else would dare to even try |
[01:33.07] | It was the only way |
[01:37.74] | If not for bravery |
[01:39.37] | The soul would surely die |
[01:44.04] | Right before my eyes ,he gave his life unselfishly |
[01:48.36] | So that all the father ’s children could be free |
[01:53.85] | Like you and me |
[01:57.25] | Repeat Chorus |
[02:27.65] | Before his work is done |
[02:30.91] | We ’ve got to put an end to this game of |
[02:34.31] | Choosing sides |
[02:35.78] | I want us to be one |
[02:40.15] | And I won ’t let it go |
[02:45.79] | Till it ’s over |
[02:47.31] | I ’m here waiting |
