 We've been waiting so long,
 We've been waiting so long,
 we've been waiting for  the sun to rise  and shine
Shining still  to give  us the will
 Can you hear me,  the sound  of my voice?
 I am here  to tell  you I have made  my choice
 I've been listening  to what's  been going down
 There's just too  much talk  and gossip going  'round
 You may think  that I'm a fool, but I know the answer
Words  become a tool, anyone can use them
Take  the golden rule, as the best example
Eyes  that have seen  will know  what I mean
 The time  has come  to take  the bull by the horns
 (Hold that line, baby hold that line
 Get up boys and hit 'em one more time)
 We've been so  downhearted,  we've been so  forlorn
 (We may be losing now but we can't stop trying
 So hold that line, baby hold that line)
 We get weak  and we want  to give in
 (Hold that line, baby hold that line
 Get up boys and hit 'em one more time)
 But we still need  each other  if we want  to win
 (We may be losing now but we can't stop trying
 So hold that line, baby hold that line)
 If you don't  know what to do about a world  of trouble
You  can pull it through if you need to and if
You  believe it's true, it will surely happen
Shining still,  to give  us the will
 We've been waiting so long,
 We've been waiting so long,
 we've been waiting for  the sun to rise  and shine
Shining still  to give  us the will
Bright  as the day,  to show  us the way
Somehow, someday,
 We need just  one victory  and we're on  our way
Prayin'  for it all day  and fightin'  for it all night
 Give us just  one victory,  it will be  alright
We  may feel about to fall but we go down fighting
You  will hear the call if you only listen
Underneath  it all we are here together
Shining still,  to give  us the will
Bright  as the day,  to show  us the way
Somehow, someday,
 (Hold that line, baby hold that line
 Get up boys and hit 'em one more time)
 We need just  one victory  and we're on  our way
 (We may be losing now but we can't stop trying
 So hold that line, baby hold that line)
Prayin'  for it all day  and fightin'  for it all night
 (Hold that line, baby hold that line
 Get up boys and hit 'em one more time)
 Give us just  one victory,  it will be  alright
 (We may be losing now but we can't stop trying
 So hold that line, baby hold that line)
