lyrics

how long, how long dean music mint bmi

i heard moses talking to the pharaoh king
i heard moses talking to the pharaoh king
he said, “i wanna know, i wanna know
how long, how long?”

saw that rabbi preaching about the kingdom come
saw that rabbi preaching about the kingdom come
well i wanna know, i wanna know
how long, how long

i went to the river just to quench my soul
saw my master with a fishin’ pole
i said, “lord, you won’t catch nothin’ if you got no hook.”
he said, “you better be still son, and have yourself another look.”

i sat with the buddha underneath the banyan tree
sat with the buddha underneath the banyan tree
i said, “i wanna know. i wanna know
how long, how long.”

forty days, forty nights on the mountaintop
i said, “lord, lord, won’t you show me a sign?
and when you gonna make all this suffering stop?”
she said, “boy, when you gonna change how you’ve been using your mind?”

people all over the world, they just want to be free.
people all over the world, they just want to be free.
i wanna know, i wanna know
how long, how long?
