When the river of rebellion
Overflows, I'll be there
When the seed of discontent
Plants and grows, I'll be there
Watching for the sun
Through the dark and rainy storm
Searching for the keys
To the dungeons old and worn
Let me tell you, I'll be there
When the shadow of the tyrant falls
And sweeps across the land
When men would steal from others
With paper in their hand
When people search for answers
And the answers never come
When their troubles would be over
If they thought and fought as one
Let me tell you, I'll be there
Whispering of yesterday
Has grown into a roar
Winds of freedom blowing out
Of every distant shore
When the time is ready
And the call is loud and clear
Let me tell you, I'll be there
When the thunder of oppression
Roars and crackles, I'll be there
When those who would be free
Are wearing shackles, I'll be there
For the day is gonna come
When they'll throw away their chains
Lift their heads and raise their arms
For the struggle that remains
And let me tell you, I'll be there
Whispering of yesterday
Has grown into a roar
Winds of freedom blowing out
Of every distant shore
When the time is ready
And the call is loud and clear
Let me tell you, I'll be there
When the thunder of oppression
Roars and crackles, I'll be there
When those who would be free
Are wearing shackles, I'll be there
For the day is gonna come
When they'll throw away their chains
Lift their heads and raise their arms
For the struggle that remains
And let me tell you
Let me tell you
Let me tell you
Let me tell you, I'll be there
