ONE MAN
Resting on wings of a butterfly
Nothing so fragile, or right
Carried on winds soft as a sigh
Causing a change with its flight
Nothing is imprisoned in scripture
Neither nor written in stone
Nothing is out of the picture
Nothing ever happens alone
One man cares for another man
Lends him an ear or a word
Everyone does only what he can
But one man can change the world
Just when we thought it was over
Laying down arms and our fear
Just when we turned our attention
A deadlier foe appeared
And just when we thought it was growing
It turned on itself from within
And more than one voice started sowing
The seeds of a better begin
One man cares for another man
Lends him an ear or a word
Everyone does only what he can
And one man changes the world
Too young for the army of flowers
Too far from the wall when it fell
But I've learned that we don't live in towers
And we don't write our stories ourselves
One thought set the heart on its journey
One word of consent made the call
A butterfly beat her wings on the wind
And tethered one life to them all
One man cares for another man
Lends him an ear or a word
Everyone does only what he can
And one man can change the world
