Generate meaning
1
When the river of rebellion overflows, I'll be there
2
When the seed of discontent plants and grows, I'll be there
3
Watching for the sun through the dark and rainy storm
4
Searching for the keys to the dungeons old and worn
5
Let me tell you, I'll be there
6
When the shadow of the tyrant falls and sweeps across the land
7
When men would steal from others with paper in their hand
8
When people search for answers and the answers never come
9
When their troubles would be over if they thought and fought as one
10
Let me tell you, I'll be there
11
Whispering of yesterday has grown into a roar
12
Winds of freedom blowing out of every distant shore
13
When the time is ready and the call is loud and clear
14
Let me tell you, I'll be there
15
When the thunder of opression roars and crackles, I'll be there
16
When those who would be free are wearing shackles, I'll be there
17
For the day is gonna come when they'll throw away their chains
18
Lift their heads and raise their arms for the struggle that remains
19
And let me tell you, I'll be there
20
Whispering of yesterday has turned into a roar
21
Winds of freedom blowing out of every distant shore
22
When the time is ready and the call is loud and clear
23
Let me tell you, I'll be there
24
When the thunder of opression roars and crackles, I'll be there
25
When those who would be free are wearing shackles, I'll be there
26
For the day is gonna come when they'll throw away their chains
27
Lift their heads and raise their arms for the struggle that remains
28
And let me tell you
29
Let me tell you
30
Let me tell you
31
Let me tell you, I'll be there
