Guess I was born in a hurry, so it says in the stars Sometimes we move like lightning, still get stuck where we are Playing the long game means waiting Don't have to wait on tomorrow So Imma pick my head up and go on with my days I see all the hustle-bustle 'bout cashing a wage Spring is as long as the winter when I'm holding out for the summer So I'm singing Lord, give me patience, give me patience Singing Lord, give me patience cos I can't seem to wait any longer Seems like I get home late and the stars come out Trying to keep my composure but I have no doubt Waiting for you is like a dream, well I can't piece it together So I'm singing Lord, give me patience, give me patience Singing Lord, give me patience, give me patience Singing Lord, give me patience cos I can't seem to wait any more All of our lives we're striving for something and it takes up all our energy Although sometimes we're bored in the sun but a big dull moment Let's learn to walk before we can run, let's learn to walk before we can run Cos we're singing Lord, give me patience, give me patience Singing Lord, give me patience, give me patience Singing Lord, give me patience, give me patience Singing Lord, singing Lord, singing Lord, give me patience Cos I don't want to wait any longer
