By I.M. Ulysses
One man must stand
In the midst of the defeat
And hold fast the ground
While others retreat
One man must rise
And lift up the banner
That rallies the armies
In the midsts of their stammer
One man must hope
As the waters rise higher
His heart all ablaze
To achieve his desire
One man must conquer
And push back the foe
Who dares to advance
Against the weak and humble
One man must reach
Beyond his own grasp
For that is the measure
Of those hearts that last
One man must face
The darkness inside
And find in himself
The strength to survive
One man must strive
To live every moment
When the weak and the coward
Say that he shouldn't
One man must trust
In God up above
Whose power is found
In mercy and love
One man must finish
What he has begun
And rejoice in the triumph
Of the race that is won
One man must pray
With upraised hands
Thanking the Father
Who caused him to stand.
