One man can make a difference when the day turns into night
When others are confused about what’s wrong and what is right
One man whose heart is true and strong and filled with courage rare
Will stand alone amid the flames when terror fills the air
One man so small and weak when he’s compared to many things
Can turn to bronze just like a freedom bell that proudly rings
And signals out to others that the fight must still go on
Though sadly sacrifice and tears will follow us along
One man shall be a symbol and shall light the way for all
Even though the fight is fierce and it seems he must fall
But when he does another man will take his place in time
And at the end the victory will surely be sublime
But it must start with one man who though fearful and unsure
Resolves to stand and hold his ground for ideals that are pure
He stands for those who cannot now and those who’ve stood before
And we’ll sing praises to that nameless man forevermore
