How long will it be
Till we see
How things could be?
How long will we wait
Till we're too late
To say goodbye to hate?
How long,
How long?
From right
To wrong?
How long?
I've been keeping track
Of the way things unwind.
I've been hanging back
Biding my time.
But I can't stay quiet much longer
I can't do nothing as hate grows stronger
I won't stay quiet any longer.
Now I'm losing track
Wasting my time
Should be getting back
To the choice that was mine.
