[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
A crack exposing human rights
Light against a granite sky
A crack exposing human life
A fire burns
For the freedom, for the freedom
For the freedom never given but taken
For the freedom, die for the reason

[Chorus]
One man stands
Hard as he waits for freedom's hand
A unified voice for the freedom of choice
One man stands for life
He'll give his
Would you give yours to fight for a cause?
One man stands
