For Just A Minute Songtext

von JFK-where is the vision? The Rock Opera

I've asked myself time and time again
Who was it that would take the devil's hand
And raise it up above his head
To cut into the spirit of man

But then I looked at it a different way
What is victory without any cost
Are the winners those who feel no pain
Or the ones who some times have loved and lost

For just a minute
The world stood still
For just a minute
The spirit soared and the heart was filled
For just a minute
With all the joy that a man can bring

For just a minute
And the young girls cheered their approval

Although you never met, you know him well
A hero yet marked the same as us

But simply judge this man by what he was
Let the flame now pass to the young
Tell your sons and daughters of these times
And judge him not by what he said or did
For just a minute
Man flew on the wing
For just a minute
The door swung back and the light shone in
For just a minute
With all the hope that the sun can bring
For just a minute
And the young men roared their approval

And so for the dreamers say a prayer
For those charged to keep the dream alive
And then thank God that you were there
When to hope was not a waste of time

For just a minute
The world stood still
For just a minute
The spirit soared and the heart was filled
For just a minute
With all the love that a man can bring
For a minute
And the whole world cheered its approval
For just a minute
