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.

But here's where a quiet man with truth in his hand can make a stand and be heard in this land. So,



(Chorus)

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)
