^EHow long does it ^Atake For a t^Eaker not to ^Atake Any ^Emore than what ^Ahe needs to make it work ^EHow long will it ^Abe Till those ^Eseeing eyes will ^Asee Just e^Enough to try and ^Abe a little more

^AAnd how long were we ^F#wishing That the ^Atalkers would just ^F#listen You can ^Ahear a further distance in the ^F#quiet

And ^Ehow long did the ^Asky Make the ^Edreamers wonder ^Awhy Only ^Ebirds had wings to ^F#fly ^Eaway
