How Long?
This ia song about the sanctity of life.
How Long
How long will it take
‘Til they find the answer?
Life is sacred and endless hearts have been broken
How long can you wait?
Holding back your anger
A child is innocent and to kill is not the answer
But I see the love in Your eyes
And You won’t turn us away
But I know where that choice is made
Life can’t be without pain
How long will we be
Torn from your protection?
For the world, it lies and choice has a victim
How long can we wait?
Your faithful tire of watching
Time belongs to You; we must love and have patience
And I know Your love won’t die
It’s man who’s turning away
And I know where that choice is made
Peace can never reign
How long will it take?
Prayer’s the only answer
There must be an end; hear the cries Your children
