Indigo Girls - It Won't Take Long Lyrics

Font:

Align:

They said some men would be warriors

Some men would be kings

Some men would be owners of land

And other man-made things

False love as the eternal flame

Would move some to think in rings

And gold would be our power

And other foolish things

And you who dream of liberty

Must not yourselves be fooled

Before you get to plea for freedom

Youve agreed to being ruled

If the body stays a shackle

Then the mind remains a chain

And that will link you to your destiny

Where by other souls are slain

It wont take long

It wont take too long at all

Three 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 there

Dry 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 dont take long

It dont take too long at all

No it dont take long

You may say

I dont know what youre talking about

And I say

You mean to tell me thats 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 its stage

But you know still smaller than my nightmare

Now do I print upon the page

And do we have to live inside its walls

To identify the cage

cause it takes so long

Why does it take so long

And it takes so long

You may say

I dont really care what youre talking about

Im gonna ask you

You trying to tell me you dont belong

I am my mothers daughter

But I have seen myself in you

Its this blessing that I follow now

And so I must speak true

I dreamed of thousands dying

It was you and you and you

And while the city sleeps so quietly

There is something we must do

And it wont take long

It wont take too long at all

It wont take long

May say

I dont know if I wanna know what youre getting at

It makes me wanna say

So long

Grief shall come in measures

Only grief alone will know

And youll see it on your family

And on your own face it will grow

Then theyll try to keep you hungry

And theyll tell you to eat snow

You know pride can be a moving thing

If we learn the strength of no

And it wont take long

It wont take too long at all

No it wont take long

You may say

I dont 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 feet

With 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 wont take long

It wont take too long at all

No it wont take long

And you may say

I dont think I can be a part of that

And it makes me want to say

Dont you want to see yourself that strong

Division between the peoples

Will disappear that honoured day

And though oceans lie between us

Lifted candles light the way

Half will join their hands by moonlight

The rest under the rising sun

As underneath the sun and moon

A ritualed wailing has begun

And it wont take long

It wont take too long at all

And it wont take long

And you may say

I dont know how to be a part of what youre talking about

And it makes me want to say

Come on

Come on

Oh beware you sagging diplomats

For you will not hear one gun

And though our homes be torn and ransacked

We will not be undone

For as we let ourselves be bought

Were gonna let ourselves be free

And if you think we stand alone

Take a look around and you will see

We are children in the rafters

We are babies in the park

We are lovers at the movies

We are candles in the dark

We are changes in the weather

We are snowflakes in july

We are women grown together

We are men who easily cry

We are words no quickly spoken

Were the deeper side of try

We are dreamers in the making

We are not afraid of why
