Somewhere After Midnight Lyrics

Somewhere After Midnight lyrics

Somewhere after midnight 
Somewhere before noon 
I looked out on the horizon and I saw the risin` moon 
 
I heard a train whistle blowin` 
In the back of my brain 
Said they thought the clouds were coverin`, and they expected rain 
 
It`s been a long time comin` 
It`s been a long time carrying on 
If we don/t get ourselves together 
We`re gonna be a long time gone 
 
I am not a warrior, 
I am not a pacifist 
I`m firmly planted in middle America, just trying to do my best 
 
But when an international storm, 
Threatens my home or family 
There`s nothin` in this life that will stop me, from defending my liberty 
 
It`s been a long time comin` 
It`s been a long time carrying on 
If we don`t get ourselves together 
We`re gonna be a long time gone 
 
You know it`s been a long time comin` 
It`s been a long time carrying on 
If we don`t get ourselves together 
We`re gonna be a long time gone
