It's been a long time comin'
It's goin' to be a long time gone
And it appears to be a long time,
yes a long, long time before the dawn

Turn, turn any corner
Hear you must hear what the people say
You know there's something that's goin'
on around here,that surely won't stand
the light of day
And it appears to be a long,
appears to be a long time,such a long,
long time before the dawn

Speak out, you got to speak your mind,
if you dare
But don't try to get yourself elected
If you do you had better cut your hair
'Cause it appears to be a long,
appears to be a long,
appears to be a long
Time, before the dawn

It's been a long time comin'
It's goin' to be a long time gone
But you know the darkest hour
is always just before the dawn
And it appears to be a long,
appears to be a long,
appears to be a long
Time before the dawn
