Lyrics:

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 going on around here

It surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day, no

And it appears to be a long (Yes, it does)

Appears to be a long (Mmm)

Appears to be a long

Time, such a 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, no, try to get yourself elected

If you do, you had better cut your hair, mmm

And it appears to be a long (Yes, it does)

Appears to be a long (Mmmhmm)

Appears to be a long

Time, such a long, long, long, long time

Before the dawn, yeah



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, such a long, long, long, long time

Before the dawn
