How Long歌词完整版
Someone asked a question once
Of Martin Luther King
How long do you stay the course
And dream the dream
When it seems evil’s won
And greed is on the throne
And you feel like the silenced voice
In the wilderness all alone
How Long? How Long?
He said “Till justice rolls down like water,
‘Till justice rolls down like water,
‘Till justice rolls down like water
And righteousness flows like a mighty stream
A little boy about ten years old
Sits watching his T.V.
He’s alone most every night
‘Till two or three
Though his mama works two jobs
She still can’t make ends meet
He sees the fat cats lie and steal
But they always go scot free
He says “How Long, how Long
‘Till that justice rolls down like water
‘Till justice rolls down like water
‘Till justice rolls down like water
And righteousness flows like a mighty stream?”
Power, greed, and profit
Will never feed the soul
These three shovels have dug us
A deep dark hole
Compassion, understanding
And living one for all
And all for one is what it’s gonna take
To break this fall
How long? How long?
He said “Till justice rolls down like water
‘Till justice rolls down like water
‘Till justice rolls down like water
And righteousness flows like a mighty stream”
