How Long

Urgency has brought us here

We lost ourselves inside our fear

The future’s sour, I still must taste

I learn to trust, no time to waste

No time to waste

Oh somehow this man is still a boy

Like the birth of a child

The greatest pain is the greatest joy

How long, how long, how long must I wait for the joy?

How long, how long, how long must I wait for the joy?

I learnt to walk on water, my friend

I start to build, but not on the sand

My heart still beats, though my eyes aren’t bright

This hope is not an empty device

Thought I was strong, I’m on my knees (Knees)

Again, again

Thought I was fine, it’s you I need (Need)

Again, again

Somehow this man is still a boy (Boy)

Like the birth of a child

The greatest pain is the greatest…

How long, how long, how long must I wait for the joy?

How long, how long, how long must I wait for the joy?

How long, how long, how long, how long, how long

Well tell me why I’m made to wait so long

Outside it’s quiet, outside so quiet

The sun will rise, so lift your eyes

And don’t beat your own back

Oh don’t beat your own back

You’re free to fly

You shine so bright

How long, how long, how long must I wait for the joy?

How long, how long, how long must I wait for the joy?

How long, how long, how long, how long, how long

Tell me why I’m made to wait so long

Why I’m made to wait so long

So long (So long)

So long (So long)

How long is so long?
