How Long

Woke up late this morning and they’re talkin so tough
About the ones we think are just so different from us
Enemies within and clear across the globe
How long with this “us and them”?

How Long, tell me
How Long, tell me
How Long, tell me
How Long

Waiting for the right time to start living this life
Waiting for the moment when we say we’ve arrived
That perfect day always just out round the next bend
When we’re going to get it right

How Long, tell me
How Long, tell me
How Long, tell me
How Long

How Long, How Long, How Long, How Long

Help me listen, find some vision, on this night, trying to take flight
Round and round, we’re lost and found, every life, fights a noble fight, trying to get it right

Sit right down, slow my thoughts, take a deep breath
Go within, got to give this mind a rest
Monkey mind settle down, stillness take root
A Happiness that has no cause

How Long, tell me
How Long, tell me
How Long, tell me
How Long

I take to the mirror, hoping to find, something I like, away from all this strife
Thy kingdom will come, and here on this earth, we can’t put it off, how precious is this Life
This Life

Cause this is no better time
No ordinary moments
I look to the wise to find
An answer to this rhyme

Help me listen, give me vision, on this night, I will take the flight
Round and round, we’re lost and found, every life, fights the noble fight, trying to get it right
