By The Wayside

I only met you once before, as
ships pass in the night
But now I see your SOS, it seems you left the fight
I do not know your reasons, but don't give up too soon
It will not always be this way, there's gonna be a different tune
(chorus)
If you've fallen by the wayside, get back on the road
Show them that they cannot grind you down
If you've fallen by the wayside, get back on the road
Drive 'em out from cities and from towns
Well the winds of change are
sweeping, hard across the land
The shackles are a'breaking, the victory's at hand
I can see them trembling, as their lives begin to fall
The vengeance is awakening now as we heed the holy call
(chorus)
instrumental break
(chorus) x2
