I know you have questions 
Same ones as me 
How long has it been? 
How long will it be? 
When will come the morning 
To drive the night away? 
Tell me when will come the morning 
Of a brighter day? 

Patience, little sister 
Patience, little brother 
Patience, patience 
Take each other by the hand 
Patience, little sisters 
Patience, little brothers 
Let us walk together 
To the promised land 

There's a river to cross 
And a mountain to climb 
Patience, patience 
It's gonna take some time 
We must walk in peace 
We got to walk in peace 
It's the only, only way 
If we want to see that morning 
Of a brighter day 
Of a brighter day 

Patience, little sister 
Patience, little brother 
Patience, patience 
We're gonna find a way 
Patience, little sisters 
Patience, little brothers 
Until that morning of a brighter day 
Patience, patience 
'Til that brighter day 
Patience, patience 
'Til that brighter day
