How Much Longer Rap Version by Common Hymnal Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the silence, tell me, can you hear
The voices calling out, of the disappeared?
Broken spirits, dormant dreams?
How much longer will justice sleep?
[Pre-Chorus]
When a lawless heart is the voice we're hearing
We need freedom
[Chorus]
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
[Verse 2]
Hearts of saints and sinners, too
Both have walked away from the destitute
Call them back to sing as one
A song of freedom now, a song to overcome
[Verse 3]
YHWH, I'm asking
YHWH, I'm pleading
YHWH, I'm praying
Causе I know you know
There's another hashtag with a namе on it
Same story
Do the fighting be in vain, Lord
We keep on hearing 'bout the pain only
I'm tired of crying
I'm tired of yelling
My people keep dying
God is you tweakin'
Freedom is needed
This season ain't leaving
The people don't know what to say now
Fear be the way now
Due for a breakdown
So how much longer
YHWH, I'm asking
YHWH, I'm pleading
YHWH, I'm praying
We been singing the same song
I'm asking for a new song
We been singing the same song
I'm asking for a new song
We been singing the same song
I'm asking for a new song, new song
A new change
Yea, a new normal
A new change
We been singing the same song
I'm asking for a new song
A new change
New season
New reality
I'm asking for a new song
No poverty, every part of me
Is whole heartedly
Ready for a new song
Oh Lord, you know we need a new song
In the silence, tell me, can you hear
The voices calling out, of the disappeared?
Broken spirits, dormant dreams?
How much longer will justice sleep?
[Pre-Chorus]
When a lawless heart is the voice we're hearing
We need freedom
[Chorus]
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
How much longer 'til we sing a new song?
[Verse 2]
Hearts of saints and sinners, too
Both have walked away from the destitute
Call them back to sing as one
A song of freedom now, a song to overcome
[Verse 3]
YHWH, I'm asking
YHWH, I'm pleading
YHWH, I'm praying
Causе I know you know
There's another hashtag with a namе on it
Same story
Do the fighting be in vain, Lord
We keep on hearing 'bout the pain only
I'm tired of crying
I'm tired of yelling
My people keep dying
God is you tweakin'
Freedom is needed
This season ain't leaving
The people don't know what to say now
Fear be the way now
Due for a breakdown
So how much longer
YHWH, I'm asking
YHWH, I'm pleading
YHWH, I'm praying
We been singing the same song
I'm asking for a new song
We been singing the same song
I'm asking for a new song
We been singing the same song
I'm asking for a new song, new song
A new change
Yea, a new normal
A new change
We been singing the same song
I'm asking for a new song
A new change

Ready for a new song
Oh Lord, you know we need a new song
