Lyrics

Long Way To Go
Words and Music: Dennis Carlan

We've come a long way, Baby
Bada bada da-da-da-da
Such a long way, Baby
Bada bada da-da-da-da

It wasn't so very long ago
We were outside in the crowd
Took a stand against The Man
We were young, determined and proud

Made the choice, to raise our voice
Against, Inequality
Me and you we always knew
We all have a right to be

Together we made history
While the whole world watched in awe
Walking the walk, talking the talk
Served us well and took us far

We've come a long way, Baby
We still got a long way to go
Such a long way, Baby
Bada bada da-da-da-da

Today we see on our TV
Our children die, in foreign lands
How long, how long, must it go on
Till once again we take a stand

We watch the path and the aftermath
Of Mother Nature's mighty wind
When levees fall, those who lose it all
Wait too long for help to begin

Corporate tricks, dirty politics
Breaking dreams all across the land
Behold, Behold, both young and old
The future is in our hands

We've come a long way, Baby
We still got a long way to go
Such a long way, Baby
We still got a long way to go

We still got a long way to go, oh, oh
We still got a long way to go, oh, oh
We still got a long way to go, oh, oh
We still got a long way to go Hey Hey Hey

"Time for the leaders we elect now"
"To show the people some respect now"
"End the war and bring 'em home"
"Give 'em shelter from the storm"
"Give us reason to believe now"
"Honesty is what we need now"
"Give the people what they want"
Hey Hey Hey
