How Long

How long, how long can we go on

How long, how long can we go on

This troubled land may never last

The times of war are in the past

How far, how far have we gone

How far, how far have we gone

So many battles without a gain

So many young men are lost in vain

Why the fear of the coming of the morning?

Why the trembling at the call?

Can't we hear the final warning?

Can't we see the writing on the wall?

So many years before the dawn

So many years before the dawn

So many children have never grown

So many cannonballs have flown

So many rains had to fall

So many rains have had to fall

So many storms before the flood

So many rainbows are red with blood

Why the fear of the comin' of the morning?

Why the trembling at the call?

Can't we hear the final warning?

Can't we see the writing on the wall?

How long, how long can we go on

How long, how long can we go on

This troubled land may never last

The times of war are in the past
