How Long

How long How long How long

will we do this thing?

Over and over and over again

Until we get it right

Until we right the wrongs

That's how long

How long How long How long

was it wrong before it was right?

How long were we twisting and turning

Upside down and inside out

  How long can we do this thing

How long can we struggle and fight? 

Until we understand that 

every wrong was right 

Until we sort and combine

what is with 

what was with 

what could be with

what can never be broken

How long How long How long

Along these tracks of time gone by

You always meet me here

 where the mountains meet the sea

heart to heart

soul to soul

That's how long.
