Once there was a time we cried
Never settle on a nine to five
But now if you lead we will follow
Once there was a time we cried
Won't find us walking in a suit and tie
And now if you lead we will follow
Now the light appears and the cause
Comes through loud and clear so we'll all
Join the leader, help the leader
Once there was a time we moaned
Oh Lord bring our soldier boys back home
But now if you lead we will follow
Now the light appears and the cause
Comes through loud and clear so we'll all
Join the leader
Now we know when we're old
That our children
Will approach us
And they'll say which way to go
And they'll say which way to go
And they'll point in our direction
Now the light appears and the cause
Comes through loud and clear so we'll all
Know the light appears and the cause
Comes through loud and clear so we'll all
Know the light appears and the cause
