Lyrics
How Long
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The darkness is deep, but night will end
'Cause truth crushed to earth will rise again
How long will it take, you want to know
How long, not long because you reap just what you sow
How long, not long because no lie lives forever
How long, not long because we'll turn aside never
How long, not long because we've sounded all the trumpets
How long, not long because the great arc follows justice
How long, not long because the truth is marching on
How long, not long because this hour will soon be gone
Though our aching legs are weary the truth is marching on
The truth is marching on,
The truth is marching on and on and on and on
How long
How long
