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
Such a long, long time
Before the dawn

Turn, turn any corner
Don't hear, sooner or later you come to hear
What your neighbors and your friends have to say
Something, something goin' on around here
Surely, I think surely, surely won't stand the light of day
[Incomprehensible] no more

And it appears to be a long, yeah
Appears to be a long, yeah
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long, time
Before the dawn

Speak out, speak out against the madness
Speak your mind and yeah
That is if you still can [handle] you still can
But don't, I said, 'Don't', I said, 'Don't try to get yourself elected', yeah
But if you do, drink and drive, you better cut your hair [Incomprehensible]

And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long,yeah
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long, long, long, yeah
Before the dawn

It's been a long time comin'
Oh to be long yeah, time gone
But you know, the darkest hour, yeah
[Incomprehensible] you know just before the dawn
It's your time, yes it is

And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long

And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn
