Lyrics
0:26It's a peaceful thing to know
0:29That freedom
0:30As a rule belongs to me
0:36There's something very wrong
0:38When the color
0:39Of a man is all you see
0:45After all this time
0:48How can a single voice explain
0:51Any reason for the pain
0:54We all have seen
0:57It's not a dream
1:02One man stood tall
1:08And faced the devil
1:10With his back to the wall
1:14And took one step
1:16Closer to heaven above
1:25So he took a stand and walked
1:29Where no one else
1:30Would dare to even try
1:35It was the only way
1:37If not for bravery
1:39The soul would surely die
1:44And right before my eyes
1:47He gave his life unselfishly
1:50So that all the father's
1:52Children could be free
1:56Like you and me
2:01One man stood tall
2:07And faced the devil
2:09With his back to the wall
2:13And took one step
2:15Closer to heaven above
2:26Before his work is done
2:31We've got to put an end
2:32To this game of choosing sides
2:39I want us to be one
2:43And I won't let it go
2:46Till it's over
2:49I'm here waiting
3:13One man stood tall
3:19And faced the devil
3:20With his back to the wall
3:25And took one step
3:27Closer to heaven above
3:34One man stood tall
3:40And faced the devil
3:44With his back to the wall
3:47One step closer
3:50To heaven above
4:18One man stood tall
4:28With his back to the wall
4:44I'm waiting waiting
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 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 One man stood tall And faced the devil With his back to the wall And took one step Closer to heaven above 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 One man stood tall And faced the devil With his back to the wall And took one step Closer to heaven above One man stood tall And faced the devil With his back to the wall One step closer To heaven above One man stood tall With his back to the wall I'm waiting waiting
