Richard Marx - One Man Lyrics






It's a peaceful thing
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

[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

[Chorus]

    This song, for me, is to my Brother, Doug, who protected me against an opponent he knew nothing about.(a generational cult) But his Light and Strength pulled me back from the edge and he helped me to get my life back together. My Brother saved me, in everyway a person can be saved. He paid too high a price for it, though. My Brother was killed in October of 2015 and I spend some days, even still, in a fetal position in my room and cry. But then I get back up and forge on. I try to make all the days I have count and to help others as Doug did for me!
