It Won't Be Long Lyrics

When people are thirsty
And ready and willing
Then it won't be long
Till something else but wine is spilling!
The butcher is idle
While people are starving
And it won't be long
Till there's another kind of carving! Look into the future
And what do you see there,
And if you do nothing can you guarantee
We'll be there?
Stop looking to heaven

And we keep on waiting
We learn to be patient
We learn to keep hating. Look into the future
And what do you see there
And if we do nothing can you guarantee
We'll be there for the things to come,
The future dawn, the distant drum,
The cup from which we all can drink?
It's sooner than the scholars think
And it won't be long
It won't long
It won't be long
Won't be long! Submitter's comments:  The recording of this song is included with the recording of "The Shadows of the Night."
