It's been a lo ng time comin'
It's goin' to be a Lo ng Time Gone.
And it appe ars to be a long,
Appe ars to be a long,
Appe ars to be a long
Time, yes, a long, long, long ,long time before the dawn.
Tur n, turn any corn er.
Hea r, you must hear what the peo ple say.
Y ou know there's something that's goin' on around here,
The su rely, surely, surely won't stand the lig ht of day.
And it appe ars to be a long,
Appe ars to be a long,
Appe ars to be a long
Time, yes, a long, long, long ,long time before the dawn.
Spe ak out, you got to speak out agai nst the madness,
You got to speak your mind,
If you dare .
B ut don't no don't now try to get yourself elected
If you do you had better cut your hair .
`Cause it appe ars to be a long,
Appe ars to be a long,
Appe ars to be a long,
Time, such a long long long long time before the dawn.
It's been a lo ng time comin'
It's goin' to be a lo ng time gone.
But you know,
The darkest hour is always
Always just be fore the dawn.
And it appe ars to be a long, appe ars to be a long,
Appe ars to be a long
Time before the dawn.
