It won't be long, it won't be long
It won't be long, it won't be long
It won't be long, it won't be long
You must be strong, you must be strong
It won't be long, it won't be long
It won't be long, it won't be long
It won't be long, it won't be long
You must be strong, you must be strong

I'm staring into the mirror
Hoping that she won't appear
It's like I've been here for years
When I wake up in the morning
Just before the dawning
She's there without warning

I'll never understand
But you've gotta be strong, you gotta be strong
We're living off the land
But you've gotta be strong, you gotta be strong

She's telling me to be patient
Crying for an explanation
To all this devastation
She whispers into my ear
To never live in fear
And then she disappears

I'll never understand
But you've gotta be strong, you gotta be strong
We're living off the land
But you've gotta be strong, you gotta be strong

When I wake up in the morning
Just before the dawning
She's there without warning
(It won't be long, it won't be long)

I'll never understand
But you've gotta be strong, you gotta be strong
We're living off the land
But you've gotta be strong, you gotta be strong
I'll never understand
But you've gotta be strong, you gotta be strong
We're living off the land, uh
But you've gotta be strong
