Lyrics

HOW LONG?

How long, how long will this darkness last?
How many hours till night has passed?
I know the sun will rise . . .
I’m waiting for the sunrise

How many years till the truth is heard?
When will we hear the redeeming word?
I’m waiting for a light to shine
Waiting for a clear light to shine

Chorus: Fires are burning all over this land
                        Getting closer every day
                        I’m the first to say I’m not a praying man
                        But I’m down on my knees today

How long, how long till this hatred ends?
How many years till the healing begins?
I’m waiting for the Blessed One
Waiting for a blessing to come

Chorus: Fires are burning all over this land
   Getting closer every day
                        I’m the first to say I’m not a praying man
   But I’m down on my knees today

How long, how long?
