A Long Time Lyrics

[Bridge]
Oh, Berry was the end of the story
Then everything went wrong
And we'll return it to its former glory
But it just takes so long

[Chorus]
It's gonna take a long time
It's gonna take it but we'll make it one day
It's gonna take a long time
It's gonna take it but we'll make it one day

[Verse 3]
Wherever we're going
It's gonna take it but we'll make it one day
Whatever we're doing
It's gonna take it but we'll make it one day
However you want it
It's gonna take it but we'll make it one day
I know we can do it
It’s gonna take it, but we’ll make it one day

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Mayer gives us a hometown history lesson. Detroit used to be a pretty thriving place, but just because things have diminished nowadays doesn’t mean it can’t restore it’s greatness.
