Sometimes I look around at things I'd like to change
I don't know how
One man, one life to live, one choice to sieze the day
None better than now

Sometimes I will live around the things I wish would change
It's killing me how
One man, one revolution, a life more than a phase
Is being turned down

One shot at life
One target to aim for
One flight to make the goal

Released with many others from their sling
Who will you bring?
Who will you follow home?

Sometimes I see the timeline for who did what and why
Who's impact never fades?
Who's ripple altered generations, saved millions, and split time?
Is still a thriving wave

One man. One man.
One man to twelve to a world who hated them

One truth. The truth.
For Truth twelve died, there was no compromise

One shot at life
One target they aimed for
Each made their closure known

One flight. One light.
Their words screamed eternal life in paradise
I'll join their journey home

Prophetic maps were laid to prove His claims today

This Jesus won't go away
He said that He is the way
You cannot kill what He's made

They've fought for 2,000 years
To keep His wave from the piers
His message still flooded my ears

I'm one in billions
How far will my voice go?
Thank God I'm not alone

Kudos to those who's lives made the river flow so I would know
What one man does can grow

One shot at life
One target to aim for
One flight to make the goal

Released with many others from their sling
Who will you bring?
Who will you follow home?

My first song. I wrote it my Sophomore year of high school for my final project in English class. It was mostly brought about after attending an "Acquire The Fire" thing a few weeks earlier and receiving a book by Ron Luce, which was appropriately titled "The Power of One." I didn't read much of it, but the concept behind the book was cool, so I decided to musicfy it.
Ron Luce, I guess
