Ballad Of The Quiet Fighter

(albüm: #16 - 1963)

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 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 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
