It's been a long
time comin'
It's goin' to be a long
time gone
And it appears
to be a lo-ong
Appears to be
a lo-ong
Appears to be
a lo-ong
Time
it's a long, long, long
long time
before the dawn
Turn, turn any corner
Hear, hear
you must hear
what the people say
You know
there's something
That's goin' on
around here
That surely
surely
surely won't stand
the light of day
And it appears
to be a lo-ong
Appears to be
a lo-ong
Appears to be
a lo-ong
Time
such a long
long time
before the dawn
Speak out
you got to speak
out against
the madness
You got to
speak your mind
if you dare
But don't
no don't
don't try to get
yourself elected
If you do you had
better cut your hair
And it appears
to be a lo-ong
Appears to be
a lo-ong
Appears to be
a lo-ong
Time
such a long long
long long time
before the dawn
It's been a
long time comin'
It's goin' to be a
a long time gone
But you know
The darkest hour
Is always
Is always just
before the dawn
And it appears
to be a lo-ong
Appears to be
a lo-ong
Appears to be
a long
Time
such a long, long
long, long time
before the dawn
