" The "one man he resist" very well could be pointing to the lone man who stood before that huge column of tanks in Tiananmen Square "
Except the song was released in 1984 and the Tiananmen Square protests were in 1989.
Bono has spoken about the inspirations for the lyrics in a couple of interviews. The "Early morning, April 4th .............. " lines are about MLK Jr. The "One man betrayed with a kiss" line is about Jesus.
He has mentioned who the "One man caught on a barbed wire fence", "One man he resist" and "One man washed on an empty beach" lines were about but I can't remember. They were different people though.
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach
