1. How long are we gonna wait for a savior to come?
How long are we gonna wait? How long are we gonna run?
How long are we gonna wait for peace to come on earth?
How long are we gonna wait for a second holy birth?
How long? How long? How long are we gonna wait?
How long? How long? How long are we gonna wait?
How long? How long? How long are we gonna wait?
Tell me how long? How long? How long?
2. How long are we gonna watch while the skies are turning black
How long are we gonna wait for a spring that won’t come back
How long are we gonna wait for all this ice to melt
And hold the cards that we’ve been dealt
3. How long are we gonna wait while the soil is growing thin
How long are we gonna wait while the facts keep piling in
How long are we gonna wait to question what we buy
How long can we sustain our very comfortable lies?
4. How long are we gonna wait for the leaders to see the light
How long are we gonna wait to do what we know is right
How long are we gonna wait for someone else to guide the way
How long are we gonna sit on our hands to pray?
