Patience

so be patient, patient
when waiting for the gold
and wait on me as long as you have to
don’t wait till you’re too old
cuz i stood outside so long
and i stood till the bark on every tree was gone
so come on home tonight
and fight for what you know
and say what you think
but please say it in love
if you follow the crowd
just promise me one thing
please know your heart
before you begin to sing
cuz i’m on my way back home
and i found that the story was true all along
cuz i’m on my way back home
and i found that the story was true all along
so you get what you get through to me
and the sound of your voice
was the one that carried me
oh the sound is breaking all my bones
and won’t you sing again about it
the fire of my life is knocking at my front door
won’t you let him in this time
won’t you let him in this time
