    LYRICS:
    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
    We've been so downhearted, we've been so forlorn
    We get weak and we want to give in
    But we still need each other if we want to win
    Hold that line, baby hold that line
    Get up boys and hit 'em one more time
    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
    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 all right
    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

      I, also have been playing this amazingly powerful song on repeat as part of my recently embarked upon recovery process (dire mental health issues).
      It’s long been my very favorite song by my favorite performer since I borrowed my college roommate’s I.D. at 17 to go see the “Hello It’s Me” and “I Saw the Light” guy during his Back to the Bars tour in ‘78.
      The early set blew my flippin’ mind so hard that me and my two friends bought tickets from a scalper and turned right around to see the late show/set.
      It sounds like we are near contemporaries. My journey to sobriety has led me to being free from my drug addictions and alcoholism for nearly 24 years now.
      The “bottom” of my multi-decade substance abuse was obviously a much softer crash than yours and it is with a grateful heart that the first couple lines of your post caught my eye and provoked my interest after playing this exact video s-o-o many times including for other people who share our struggles. (It’s fascinating the overlap of addiction issues and mental health issues including treatments and relapse prevention etc.)
      I hope you can take heart from my recovery, that it IS indeed possible Just One Victory at a time, successively , every waking second of every day, Brother Toby. Dan

      Ever since I borrowed my college roommate’s I. D. at 17 to see Todd on his “Back to the Bars” tour, he’s been my musical hero.
      (Todd’s early show performance, backed by Utopia on this particular stop in Georgetown MD, blew my friends and me away so much that we bought tickets from a scalper on the sidewalk outside and turned right around to attend the late show.)

    I have just listened to this brilliant album for the first time. I agree with its author that it is a watershed. I have also read some of the critical articles that came out in 1973, when it appeared. It is true that the first side is very unlike the things being recorded at the time. But from the perspective of two generations, it seems far ahead of its time. One critic says there are only three songs on it, and by the standards of the day, that is true. But I respond: who cares? Who should care?

    Saw him this year on the Individualist tour. Gifted and great - as ever. I don't see myself as the kind of person who feels deeply about anyone I don't know personally - but that doesn't seem to hold true for TR. What a gift. This album is as close to perfect as I ever need to hear. Thank you for posting it.
