The sights I've seen and the fights that there's been
And now I can't believe what I am seeing
After so much pain and so much gain
This wild dog now admits it's finally been tamed
I can recall standing so proudly and defiant
Just a small man against an evil twisted giant
But soon more came and at least it did look to me
That a new dawn was coming, the dawn of the free
Drowning in the tears of this dying race
I take a final look around this glorious place
Now my last goodbye as I turn and walk away
I did the best I could but I couldn�t save the day
Victory after victory that�s how our river flows
But one day a battle�s lost, that�s how this story goes
And I watched the heads go down, friends turn and walk away
And I watched a darkened cloud descend upon our day
So now I�m standing all alone and I am wondering why
So many of our kind can watch our nation die
Now I'll roam forever sad and so ashamed
And the honest truth is, we are all to blame
