How Long Lyrics – Army Of Me

How Long Text

---

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?
