The Vigilante

I see the vigilante watchin' in the deep of the night

I always find him where his heart is, he's fightin' the good fight

He smells the scent of trouble and prepares to leave

He's got his eyes on the horizon, reachin' higher

He's got his eyes on the horizon, and his boots on his feet

When I was stranded at the crossroads it was dismal and grey

And when I asked him for directions he showed me the good way

And if the sky is swirlin' still his pace never swerves

Because his heart is always faithful, reachin' higher

You know his heart is always faithful to the captain he serves

So when the storm of deception is roundin' the bend

You know the vigilante's watchin', he won't let it in

Though I have seen him climbin' mountains with so heavy a load

He always lends a helpin' hand and he walks on the good road

It often makes me wonder how he wins with such ease

But then he keeps his vigil constant, he's aimin' to please

So when illusion's approachin' and danger is nigh

You know the vigilante's watchin', he won't let it by

I've seen him fight the fiercest foe until its forces divide

'Cause he's the fairest of them all and he chooses the good side

So when the tempters tease and try to make him unsure

You know the fires of war are burnin', reachin' higher,

You know the fires of war are burnin', but his weapons are pure

So when the clouds of confusion can creep into view

You know the vigilante's watchin', he won't let 'em through

I see the vigilante watchin' in the deep of the night

I always find him where his heart is, he's fightin' the good fight

He smells the scent of trouble and prepares to leave

He's got his eyes on the horizon, reachin' higher

He's got his eyes on the horizon, and his boots on his feet

He's watchin' 24 hours a day
