It's been a long t ime comin'
I t's goin' to be a Long T ime Gone.
A nd it appears to be a long,
Appears to be a long,
Appears to be a long
T ime, yes, a long, long, long ,long time before the dawn.
Turn, t urn any corner.
Hear, y ou must hear what the people say.
You know there's something t hat's goin' on around here,
The surely, surely, s urely won't stand the light of day.
And it appears to be a long,
Appears to be a long,
Appears to be a long
Ti me, yes, a long, long, long ,long time before the dawn.
Speak out, y ou got to speak out against the madness,
You got to speak your mind,
I f you dare.
But don't no don 't now try to get yourself elected
If you do you had better cut your hair.
`Cause it appears to be a long,
Appears to be a long,
Appears to be a long,
Ti me, such a long long long long time before the dawn.
It's been a long ti me comin'
I t's goin' to be a long ti me gone.
B ut you know,
T he darkest hour i s always
A lways just before the dawn.
And it appears to be a lon g, appears to be a long,
Appears to be a long
Ti me before the dawn.
