Long Time Gone

It's been a long time comin' It's goin' to be a Long Time Gone. And it appears to be a long, Appears to be a long, Appears to be a long Time, yes, a long, long, 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, The surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day. And it appears to be a long, Appears to be a long, Appears to be a long Time, yes, a long, long, 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 now 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, such a long long long 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 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. --- Long Time Gone - The Blind Boys of Alabama and Ruthie Foster
