Lyrics

Bilingual
Take a sip of bitter wine
Let it trickle down your throat
Tell yourself you're doing fine
Button up your winter coat
And if it's difficult to breathe in all the frigid air around you
Tell yourself again the reasons they'd be better off without you
Take another step toward the life you know you never wanted
Whisper to the wind, oh Lord, I wonder
How long, how long, long must we wait?
How long, how long, long must we pray?
Oh, the innocence of seven
Dreams of going up in space
But by the time you reach eleven
Mama puts them in their place
They all celebrate how far you've come and say with widened arms
"Watch out world, it's another golden child, another superstar!"
Take a careful step toward the life you said you always wanted
And one day you can join the world in singing
How long, how long, long must we wait?
How long, how long, long must we pray?
How long, how long, long must we wait?
How long, how long, long must we pray?
Make yourself a million dollars
Build that house by the riverside
Travel all the world, and realize
You're still not satisfied
