I'll Be There
Phil Ochs

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 opression 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 turned 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 opression 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
