Long Time Coming written by Alan.s.Robinson Been a long time coming, been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming A long time sitting in the dark night Waiting for the spark to strike a bright light Ignite the heart and set me running A long slow hard time coming A long time gone, gone, gone, gone A long time coming It’s been a long time coming A long time holding on without hope Stoking a fire choked by black smoke Coping with the rats and slumming A long slow hard time coming A long time gone, gone, gone, gone A long time coming Do you think you’ve got it made Think that you’ve been saved Plucked spluttering from the grave The earth that stopped your mouth Cloying, sweetly rotten, fowl Falling from you now Been a long time coming, been a long time coming Been a long time coming, been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming A long time watching in the wilderness Calling out aloud for deliverance In a trance like state succumbing A long slow hard time coming A long time gone, gone, gone, gone A long time coming It’s been a long time coming The years hang heavy on a true heart Knew that it would find me as the light starts To shine on those again on those that it’s been shunning A long slow hard time coming A long time gone, gone, gone, gone A long time coming Do you think you’ve got it made Think that you’ve been saved Plucked spluttering from the grave The earth that stopped your mouth Cloying, sweetly rotten, fowl Falling from you now Been a long time coming, been a long time coming It’s been a long time coming A long time sitting in the dark night Waiting for the spark to strike a bright light Ignite the heart and set me running A long slow hard time coming A long time gone, gone, gone, gone A long time coming It’s been a long time coming A long time holding on without hope Stoking a fire choked by black smoke Coping with the rats and slumming A long slow hard time coming A long time gone, gone, gone, gone A long time coming Been a long time coming Been A long time gone gone gone gone A long time coming Been A long time gone gone gone gone A long time coming Been A long time gone gone gone gone Been a long time coming
