Oh I stood watching
Oh I stood waiting
And as the rivers of freedom run through this land
I′ll be there for to lend you my hand
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 I stood watching
Oh I stood waiting
And as the rivers of freedom run through this land
I′ll be there for to lend you my hand
So I stood by the watchroad
'Til the October of their days
When the winds to my left
And then far from the right
Were 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
So I stood watching
Oh I stood waiting
And as the rivers of freedom run through this land
I′ll be there for to lend you my hand
Oh I stood watching
Oh I stood waiting
