 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,  yes, 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,  yes, a long,  long, long  ,long time  before  the dawn.
