How Long

You remember when I stood by the wall
You asked me when I thought the wall would fall
That was less than two years ago
Impossible to see impossible to know

When the people make up their minds
Courage and strength they will always find

Nobody can really lead the way
when the people wanna have their say

Won't you tell me how long
How long
Won't you tell me how long
Must this go on

Ivory towers and those meaningless words
recited by people like a well known verse
We're into the 90's and the pain goes on
Listen to the people with their freedom songs

Won't you tell me how long
How long
Won't you tell me how long
Must this go on

Won't you tell me how long
How long
Won't you tell me how long
Must this go on (on and on and on,
on and on and on, on and on and on,
on and on and on)
