Only Takes One

Men seldom speak in these times
Without fear of persecution
Cold glass eyes recording us in every corner
Their only there are triggers of retribution
And it only takes one man
To have the courage to be seen
It only takes one man
To speak for the weak and those in need
It only takes one man
To look above the parapet
Put faith in the hands of fate
And what lies within

Corporations swallowed up our streets
Like Jonah and the Whale
Buying up and raping slabs of land
Leave behind the stench of greed and nails
And there's a plastic island, the size of Texas
That's floating out in the pacific sea
Fish lay there, belly up and dying
It doesn't hurt us if we choose not to see
And it only takes one man
To have the courage to be seen
It only takes one man
To speak for the weak and those in need
It only takes one man
To look above the parapet
Put faith in the hands of fate
And what lies within

Putting faith in the hands of fate
And what lies within
