Long Time Of Suffering

There's not enough time in the day.
To help all the ones I want to save.
And every time I turn away.
Someone else is caught in the wave.

Though I try so hard so long.
I may never see an end.
But what else is right and wrong.
Than what hurts or helps my friend.

I will not surrender.
I will never give in.
All the troubles of this world.
Yet I know I shall win.

I will be there.
No matter how far.
Worry not, I know just where you are.
I will be there.
No matter how long.
Stand up straight when you hear my song.
Long time of suffering has come and gone.

Each and every passing moment.
What is creeping in the darkness.
The innocent will pretend.
There's nothing they witnessed.

They need not fear the dark below.
There is no reason for them to cry.
All they need is a great hero.
Fret not, citizens, it is I.

I will not surrender.
I will never fall down.
And I will protect this world.
As long as I am around.

I will be there.
No matter how far.
Worry not, I know just where you are.
I will be there.
No matter how long.
Stand up straight when you hear my song.
Long time of suffering has come and gone.

Laugh in the face of danger.
Nothing holds me back.
Friend or foe or total stranger.
I shield you from attack.

I will be there.
No matter how far.
Worry not, I know just where you are.
I will be there.
No matter how long.
Stand up straight when you hear my song.

I will be there.
No matter how far.
Worry not, I know just where you are.
I will be there.
No matter how long.
Stand up straight when you hear my song.
Long time of suffering has come and gone.

It has come and gone.
