How long, how long, how long, how long, how long,
How long, how long, how long, how long, how long, O Jah, how long?

Give ear unto I word, O Lord, consider I meditation.
Hearken unto the voice of I cry, my King, my God;
For unto thee will I pray.

My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord, in the morning.
Will I pray unto thee and will I look up.
For thou art not a God, that dwell, in wickedness, nor evil dwell in thee.
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight.
Thou hatest all workers of iniquity;
Thou shall destroy them.

How long, how long, how long, how long, how long, how long, O Jah?
Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness thou art.

Give ear to I words, O Lord, consider I meditation.
Hearken unto thee I voice, my cry, my King, my God;
For unto thee will I pray;
For unto thee will I pray;
For unto thee will I pray.

So long, so long, so long, so long, we are waiting on the Black Star Liner.
The Black Star Liner shall come, shall come, shall come, shall come, shall come.

Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine?
Hear I when I call, O God of my righteousness Thou art,
I shield, I strength are in thee.

Give ear to I words, O Lord, consider I meditation.
Hearken unto thee, the voice of I cry, my King, my God;
For unto thee will I pray.
My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord,
In the morning, in the morning, in the morning,
Will I pray unto thee, and I will look up;
For thou art not a God, that dwell in wickedness, nor evil dwell with thee.

Foolish shall not stand in the sight of the righteousness,
Nor the wickedness of the iniquity;
Thou shall destroy them, speak against them, speak against them, this time.
