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 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 I learn 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 Thought I was fine, it's you I need Somehow this man is still a boy At 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 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 Don't beat your own back 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 Tell me why I'm made to wait so long So long How long is so long?
