Too long, too long, too long,
Too long, too long
Hey, I say lonelyness for my company,
Tears for my coffee,
Sorrows for my bread,
Tickles and thorns for my bed to but,
I know we gonna walk the streets of freedom yes
I know we gonna walk the streets of freedom
(but) When will it be, when will it be ?
When will it be, when will it be ?
Too long, too long, too long,
Too long, too long
I know we gonna walk the streets of freedom yes
I know we gonna walk the streets of freedom
(but) When will it be, when will it be ?
When will it be, when will it be ?
Way over yonder, the flowers of happiness
Blooming so slow, blooming slow but sure, yes
I know we gonna walk the streets of freedom
But when will it be, when will it be ?
When will it be, when will it be ?
You by hypocrites back sliders oh
A wa dem a go do, when the tables turn
A wa dem a go do, when we hold the handle
And then them hold the blade
When will it be, when will it be ?
When will it be, when will it be ?
I know we gonna walk the streets of freedom yes
