Father, How Long? Lyrics


Clayton Toler
Tell me, my father, tell me how long
Will boys keep dyin' for freedom's song
Before we find a place to belong
Tell me, my father, how long?
Won't bow to no man, I got my pride
This dream I'm dreamin' can't be denied
How long till I can sing freedom's song?
Tell me, my father, how long?

I cry my tears
The same as any man you see
So God, please tell me why
This man ain't free
No more this darkness, bring me the light
Show me your mornin' cast off this night
How long till I can sing freedom's song?
Tell me my father,
Tell me my father
Tell me my father, how long?
