Am                 C
The world does not wait for such as these
G        E                Am        Dm                  F
Nor does liberty pause to heed the complaints of man or woman
Am           C
She does not wait for those
G                  E
Who have a special interest to serve
Am                       Dm                        F
Nor a selfish reason for depriving other people of freedom
                G
(Freedom, freedom, freedom)

Holding her torch high

Am              C
Some of you are old I know
G                    E                       Am
Are you willing that those who take your place
                    Dm          F
Might blame you for not keeping pace?
Am           C
Is there any gain for you
G               E         Am
Or gain for the nation to delay?
Dm             F
Don't drive us away
G
(Don't wait, don't wait, don't wait, don't wait)
