How Long

Throw down the anchor Water's only getting deeper You swallow the anger You pride is strong but your body's getting weaker At night you pray, you always say You think the day will come The morning breaks, you're still afraid To do what must be done How long? How far? How bad does it have to get? How long? How come you ain't ready to go there yet? As much as I love you and wanna help There's some things you gotta do for yourself How long? Is too late? Is too gone? How long? Can you see the lighthouse Shining on you right now Hold your breath and jump out Don't look back and don't ask how You pray tonight to see a sign Up in the stars above But now it's time, they're all aligned Don't pass the moment up How long? How far? How bad does it have to get? How long? How come you ain't ready to go there yet? As much as I love you and wanna help There's some things you gotta do for yourself How long? Is too late? Is too gone? How long? The flame has flickered long enough Black smoke filling up your lungs If you're gonna do it Then do it now 'Cause the ship is going down, down, down The flame has flickered long enough Black smoke filling up your lungs If you're gonna do it Then do it now 'Cause the ship is going down, down, down How long? How far? How bad does it have to get? How long? How come you ain't ready to go there yet? As much as I love you and wanna help There's some things you gotta do for yourself How long? Is too late? Is too gone? How long?
