One Man Stands

The enemy is dead I can't believe what I said The enemy is dead Did it only exist in our head? Sheltered from the evils of the world until the truth is seen Sheltered from realities of life, your human rights are free Freedom, taken for granted 'cause we don't know what oppression means Freedom, taken for granted by the leaders who would crush the dream A crack, exposing human rights Light against a granite sky A crack, exposing human rights A fire burns For the freedom, for the freedom, for the freedom Never given but taken For the freedom Die for the reason One man stands Hard as he waits for freedom's hand A unified voice for freedom of choice One man stands for Life He'll give his Would you give yours to fight for a cause One man stands And the wall cracks, and the wall cracks And the wall cracks, and the walls come crumbling Down with old ideals that could never work in modern times Free choice, religious freedom, basic rights are on the bottom line Down with all the icons of the past cold war and detente The flock no longer fears the wolf, the flock is taking what it wants A crack, exposing human rights Light against the granite sky A crack, exposing human rights A fire burns For the freedom, for the freedom, for the freedom Never given but taken For the freedom Die for the reason One man stands Hard as he waits for freedom's hand A unified voice for freedom of choice One man stands for Life He'll give his Would you give yours to fight for a cause One man stands And the wall cracks, and the wall cracks And the wall cracks, and the walls come crumbling Down! One man stands for life - I never questioned One life costs us all - they love their children Every man stands and fights - who is my enemy? One man's rule will fall - one man stands One man stands Hard as he waits for freedom's hand A unified voice for freedom of choice One man stands for Life He'll give his Would you give yours to fight for a cause One man stands And the wall cracks, and the wall cracks And the wall cracks, and the walls come crumbling Down! --- One Man Stands - Anthrax
