The students stood at Tiananmen Square That’s where they went to fight for public gain The government said they must get out of there The people stood their ground and so were slain In utter shock the public stood defeated They were in disbelief of what occurred They thought the stand would have to be retreated The protest of the mass would go unheard But one man stood alone and he said No. And blocked the tanks; observers thought he’d die They tried to pass, he’d still not let them go For all those silenced voices he would cry Because of him they did not go in vain Around the world, one man had made a change

"The Tank Man"
The students stood at Tiananmen Square That’s where they went to fight for public gain The government said they must get out of there The people stood their ground and so were slain In utter shock the public stood defeated They were in disbelief of what occurred They thought the stand would have to be retreated The protest of the mass would go unheard But one man stood alone and he said No. And blocked the tanks; observers thought he’d die They tried to pass, he’d still not let them go For all those silenced voices he would cry Because of him they did not go in vain Around the world, one man had made a change
