Long Time Suffering Lyrics

I never saw such a place in all my life
This is tomorrow's song, I think I've waited too long
Can't seem to see through the scraping of the sky
And now it seems so wrong to think I spent such aLong time suffering and crying to the sky
Long time suffering and never knowing whyI have a gift that can see beyond the years
The touch so refined, I have transcended all time
My heart can reach through the secret well of tears
And when they all come out won't have to spend such aLong time suffering and crying to the sky
Long time suffering and never knowing why
The child awakening to a city in the sky
I spent such a long time suffering and never knowing whyI may be only seventeen but I see things
Look at the woman who's head keeps hangin' down
I cannot feel her hate, I feel her needing
Somehow I feel like I cannot let her downI never saw such a place in all my life
This is tomorrow's song, I waited much too long
The change can come in a twinkling of an eye
The slave running free, the salmon floating downstream
The change can come in a twinkling of an eye

The slave running free, so why'd we spend such aLong time suffering and crying to the sky
Long time suffering and never knowing why
The child awakening to a city in the sky
Spent such a long time suffering, long time sufferingThe change can come in the twinkling of an eye
