Chorus:
|
Oh, I stood watchin', oh, I stood waitin' and as the rivers of freedom run through this land
|
I'll be there for to lend you my hand.
|
|
(Spoken:)
|
Well, I listened to the shouting of those with their lies who tore at the heart of this country of mine.
|
|
But here's where a quiet man with truth in his hand can make a stand and be heard in this land. So,
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
So I stood by the watch road till the October of their days
|
With the winds to my left and then far from the right, blowing my way
|
|
But now is the hour. The time I can see when we'll win with the truth that has made us free. So,
|
|
(chorus)
