[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
