Ethan Daniel Davidson - How Long Lyrics




How have the rivers fed the ocean Now for how lang have streams fed the endless sea So now how long must we wait til there's food on every plate Tell me how long how long will that be How long has this world heard babes a-cryin' Born to cry their time the same as you and me So now how far must we roam Until each one has a home Tell me how long how long will it be

How long how long How long will it be I've been in the subway stops and schools Talked to wise men and to fools Asked em how long how long will it be

Now for how long have these truths been held as self evident That all mankind was created equally So when will it ever be that all are treated equally Tell me how long how long will that be Yes for how long must we have a word for injustice Words for prejudice and poverty a word for bigotry And will the day ever be seen when no one knows what these words mean And if so how long how long will it be

How long how long How long will it be I've been from Oglala to the Empire State From the Bronx to the Golden Gate Asking how long how long will it be

Now for how long has Man sung the praise of charity That thou should treat thy neighbor better than he would treat thee So how many more live must be lost in how many more holocausts How much more of this charity must we see And for how long will nation hold sword against nation And Man learn the arts of armory How much longer do we have to bleed for the things we do not need Before the chains of fear and greed are shattered and we're free

How long how long How long will it be
Well I'm a man a constant woe For I fear that tomorrow I'll still be singin' How long will it be
