Richard Marx

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
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
