Brian McKnight - One Of The One's Who Did Lyrics
For every little girl and every little boy,Whose mother and father is across the waters,Fighting the war they know nothing about,We pray for you tonight, God help us, listen.Were running outta time, cant waste it.Have you seen the news today?War is on the uprise, who said it was to be this way?Lord I know that millions wont make it.This lifes all I have to live and Ill gladly give it,To be one of the ones who did.Ever since creation, weve been counting down the time,From then and we will see, nations fighting nations.I hide the world inside my heart,Then I read about, man inventing weapons of mass destruction,To tear us all apart,But like the rising of the sun,Were waiting for you to come and take us away,Those of us who believe in you,Believe me when I say,Were running outta time, cant waste it.Have you seen the news today?War is on the uprise, who said it was to be this way?Lord I know that millions wont make it.This lifes all I have to live and Ill gladly give it,To be one of the ones who did.Im gonna hang on to you lord,Im gonna stay strong for you lord, yeah,Im gonna keep holding on, gonna keep holding on,To your unchanging hand, lord you know the plan,That you have for me, its not my will,But your way, and Im gonna follow that way, lord.Oh lord, with a made-up mind, Im willing to go on through.Im not gonna worry about what my friends might say,Or my friends might do, hey,Im gonna follow you lord, Im gonna follow you lord.If I let it all go, if my momma dont go,If my sista dont go, if my brotha dont go,Im going, Im going through, lord.If my preacher dont go, said Im going.Oh lordy, oh lordy, oh lordy,I surrender all.With a made-up mind, Im going through,Care,So father we pray right now,That you hear our cries,For peace, for restoration.Give us hope right now,Without you we cant make it.We tried and were sorry,But we look to the hills,From it cometh our help,Cause we know our help comes from you,We gonna hold on, I said were gonna hold on to you.Were not gonna let go this time father,Were gonna trust and have faith, the size of a mustard seed.Bless your name father, youre worthy.Thank you
