When will the truth come out?
When will your justice roll down?
When will your kingdom come
And evil be undone?
When will the wicked kneel
And the abused be healed?
When will our sisters speak
With no more shame or fear?

How long? How long?
When will the daughters of zion rejoice
In the house of the lord?

Out of the miry clay
We will rise up someday
Sorrow won't always last
The dark will surely pass
Woe to the wicked ones
For what their hands have done
God is our righteous judge
And he will raise us up

So how long? How long?
When will the daughters of zion rejoice
In the house of the lord?

So let your justice roll down
Let your justice roll down
Let your justice roll down (let your justice roll down)
Let your justice roll down (let your justice roll down)
Let your justice roll down (let your justice roll down)
Oh, let your justice roll down (let your justice roll down)
Let your justice roll down (let your justice roll down)
Oh, let your justice roll down (let your justice roll down)

How long? How long?
When will the daughters of zion rejoice
In the house of the lord?
