Lyrics

How Long

How long

Must I keep going on?

To see all this pain in the world

How long, oh

Tell me, tell me

Tell me

How long? o

Ooh, oh, ow, oh

I talked my brother the other day

He said brother

Please, gimme a little fix

Huh

I look at him and said

Brother, don't leave me (repeat)

How long?

Must you keep suffering like this?

You know how people suffering

They looking for something, something to look up to

They looking for a change

How long?

Well

What I'm gonna do

What i'm gonna say

America!

Please hear me...

Make this world right, ooh people
