Ballad of a Quiet Fighter
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 there 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.

Chorus

Spoken:
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 so free

Chorus
Oh I stood watchin', Oh, I stood waitin'
