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
