| The sights I’ve seen and the fights that there’s been
|
| And now I can’t believe what I am seeing
|
| After so much pain and so much gain
|
| This wild dog now admits it’s finally been tamed
|
| I can recall standing so proudly and defiant
|
| Just a small man against an evil twisted giant
|
| But soon more came and at least it did look to me
|
| That a new dawn was coming, the dawn of the free
|
| Drowning in the tears of this dying race
|
| I take a final look around this glorious place
|
| Now my last goodbye as I turn and walk away
|
| I did the best I could but I couldn�t save the day
|
| Victory after victory that�s how our river flows
|
| But one day a battle�s lost, that�s how this story goes
|
| And I watched the heads go down, friends turn and walk away
|
| And I watched a darkened cloud descend upon our day
|
| So now I�m standing all alone and I am wondering why
|
| So many of our kind can watch our nation die
|
| Now I’ll roam forever sad and so ashamed
|
| And the honest truth is, we are all to blame |
