So many years before the dawn So many children have never grown So many cannonballs have flown (so many dogs have hid their bone) So many rains have had to fall So many rains have had to fall So many storms before the flood So many rainbows red with blood Why the fear of the comin' of the morning? Why the trembling at the call? Can't we hear the final warning? Can't we see the writing on the wall? How long, how long can we go on How long, how long can we go on This troubled land may never last There is no future in the past. /pre
