The Kingston Trio

Ballad Of The Quiet Fighter

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

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

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

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
