Long Time Comin' (Holdin' On) Songtext
von The Winans

It′s been a long time comin'
But a change is gonna come
I′ve waited through the evening
Tell me when will I see the sun?

It's been a long time comin'
But a change is gonna come
I′ve waited through the evening
Tell me when will I see the sun?

Looking back in retrospect
Things I desired, thought I′d never get
Wanting my dreams to happen right away
But in your way the lesson you learned
Patience must have her perfect turn
When you got low, you could hear the Spirit say

It's been a long time comin′
But a change is gonna come
I've waited past midnight
Wonder when will I see the sun?


Satan tried to force it loose
Friends came and said, "What′s the use?"
Oh, but I kept holdin' on
And not even knowing why
Well, now you can speak from experience
If God said He hears, you certainly get
Even now you can hear the Spirit cry

Secrets the Lord imparts
Keep them close to your heart
Don′t ever let them die
Make them the apple of your eye, eye, eye

Secrets the Lord imparts
Keep them close to your heart
Don't ever let them die
Make them the apple of your eye, eye, eye
Secrets

It's been a long time comin′ (so long)
But a change is gonna come (waiting, waiting)
I′ve waited 'til the morning (I finally)
Now I finally see the sun

The message in this simple song
Is to keep on holdin′ on
Holdin' on, holdin′ on
'Til you see the sun


You gotta keep on
Holdin′ on, holdin' on
Until you see the sun, just keep on
Holdin' on, ′til you finally see the sun
Won′t you keep on

Holdin' on (you just keep on), holdin′ on
(Until you see the sun, keep right on)
Holdin' on (I don′t ever wanna change, see me)
Holdin' on (holdin′ on)
(What you need is God and time, so keep on holdin' on)

It's too late to give up now
(God is gonna answer your prayers)
(So you gotta keep on holdin′ on)
It′s too late to give up now
(Just a little bit too late, yeah)
(Your days of holdin' down-)
