How long, how long, how long, how long, how long,
How long, how long, how long, how long, how long, O Jah, how long?
Give ear unto I word, O Lord
Hearken unto the voice of I cry
For unto thee will I pray
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning
Will I pray unto thee and will I look up
For thou art not a God that dwell in wickedness
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight
Thou hatest all workers of iniquity
How long, how long, how long, how long, how long, how long, O Jah?
O God of my righteousness thou art
Give ear to I words, O LORD
Hearken unto thee I voice, my cry, my King, my God
For unto thee will I pray
For unto thee will I pray
For unto thee will I pray
So long, so long, so long, so long
We are waiting on the Black Star Liner
The Black Star Liner shall come, shall come, shall come, shall come, shall
Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine?
Hear I when I call, O God of my righteousness Thou art
I shield, I strength are in thee.
Give ear to I words, O LORD
Hearken unto thee, the voice of I cry, my King, my God
For unto thee will I pray
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD
In the morning, in the morning, in the morning
For thou art not a God that dwell in wickedness
Foolish shall not stand in the sight of the righteousness
Nor the wickedness of the iniquity
Speak against them, speak against them, this time.
