HOW LONG
Words: Josef Zachariassen
Music: Josef Zachariassen
Golden hair, red cheeks and bright shiny eyes
The rondo of life, playing like an endless surprise
How long do you think it’s going to last?
Until his innocence becomes the distant past?
The charming serpent whispers a sobering truth.
The cost of wisdom – a glimpse of humanity’s spite. What a bitter fruit.
How long do you think it’s going to last?
Until his innocence becomes the distant past?
Father, forgive us, for we know not what we do.
We take for granted, a story that’s yet to be told –
full of light and shadow. Please give us strength to be bold.
How long do you think it’s going to last?
Until his innocence becomes the distant past?
