They said, some men would be warriors Some men would be kings Some men would be owners of land And other man-made thingsFalse love as the eternal flame Would move some to think in rings And gold would be our power And other foolish thingsAnd you who dream of liberty Must not yourselves be fooled Before you get to plea for freedom You've agreed to being ruledIf the body stays in shackle Then the mind remains a chain That will link you to your destiny By other souls are slainIt won't take long It won't take too long at allThree men in a desert, wandering One is knowing and two are scared They say time is in the river Oh, but the river is not thereDry in spirit, dry in body Two will lend themselves to death And in grief, one weeps into his hands And drinks his bitter tears'Cause it don't take long It don't take too long at all, no, it don't take long You might say, "I don't know what you're talking about" And I say, "You mean to tell me, that's all"And I stand before you now I am hopeful in my rage You know, love has finally called for me I will not wilt upon it's stageBut you know, still smaller than my nightmare Now, do I print upon the page? And do we have to live inside it's walls To identify the cage'Cause it takes so long Why does it take so long? And it takes so long You might say, "I don't really care what you're talking about" I'm gonna ask you, you trying to tell me, you don't belongI am my mother's daughter I have seen myself in you It's this blessing that I follow, now So I must be trueI dreamed of thousands dying It was you and you and you And while the city sleeps so quietly There is something we must doAnd it won't take long, it won't take too long at all It won't take long, I might say I don't know if I wanna know what you're getting at It makes me wanna say, "So long"Grief shall come in measures Only grief alone will know And you'll see it on your family And on your own face, it will growThen, they'll try to keep you hungry And they'll tell you to eat snow You know, pride can be a moving thing If we learn the strength of noAnd it won't take long It won't take too long at all No, it won't take long You may say, "I don't think this has anything to do with me" Did you ever think, you could be wrong?At noon, on one day coming Human strength will fill the streets Of every city on our planet Hear the sound of angry feetWith business freezed up in the harbour The kings will pull upon their hair And the banks will shudder to a halt And the artists will be there'Cause it won't take long It won't take too long at all, no it won't take long And you may say, "I don't think I can be a part of that" And it makes me want to say "Don''t you want to see yourself that strong"Division between the peoples Will disappear that honored day And though oceans lie between us Lifted candles light the wayHalf will join their hands by moonlight The rest under the rising sun As underneath the sun and moon A ritualed wailing has begunAnd it won't take long, it won't take too long at all And it won't take long, and you may say "I don't know how to be a part of what you're talking about" And it makes me want to say, "Come on, come on"And beware, you sagging diplomats For you will not hear one gun And though our homes be torn and ransacked We will not be undoneFor as we let ourselves be bought We're gonna let ourselves be free And if you think we stand alone Take a look around, and you will seeWe are children in the rafters We are babies in the park We are lovers at the movies We are candles in the darkWe are changes in the weather We are snowflakes in July We are women grown together We are men who easily cryWe are words not quickly spoken We're the deeper side of try We are dreamers in the making We are not afraid of why
