Can One Man Save the World Songtext
von Five for Fighting

Who is this comedian?
His audience, more mice than men
This superman Ukrainian, I don′t know
Great-grandson of the holocaust
An eastern heart the west has lost
Nail or carry up his cross, I don't know

But he′s got everyone thinking
Yeah, he's got all of us thinking

Can one man save the world?
In a thousand years, will they say your name
Or is this all in vain?
Can one man save the world?

Will you take my hand?
Will you help me stand?
Still, in the end
Can one man save the world?


Olena pulls him to her breast
The bear, the devil stabs their chest
Can one embrace raise the oppressed? I don't know
Does freedom still have appetite?
Is there the will, the goods to fight?
Can a single flame light up the night? I don′t know

Yeah, but he′s got you all thinking
'Cause everyone′s thinking

Can one man save the world?
In a thousand years, will they say your name
Or is this all in vain?
Can one man save the world?

Will you take my hand?
Will you help me stand?
Still in the end
Can one man save the world?

"Am I alone in this?" he says
"Am I alone in this?" he says
Are we alone?

In a thousand years
Will they know your name?
Can one man save the world?


Will you take my hand?
Will you help me stand?
Still in the end
Can one man save the world?
Will you take my hand
Raise up lesser men
In the end?

Who is this comedian?
This steel that is Ukrainian?
We die, but maybe live again
Can one man save the world?
