Lyrics Ballad Of The Quiet Fighter - 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
(Spoken:)
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
