When I was a boy
I was always caught in the middle
I was never a winner
Just a loner in the crowd
Looking for a way out
Then I grew a little older
And a little bolder
I grew impatient
The future I was chasing
Never seemed to be within my reach
Til I heard somebody say
(Slow, slow down...)
Nothing's gonna happen before it's time
(Slow, slow down...)
Let the pieces fall into place and you'll be fine
chorus
Take your time
So I'm waiting,
Cause I know I'm gonna be
Next in line
To claim my prize, and be all that I wanna be
I work so hard to earn my place
And good things come to those who wait
So made it out, eventually
I took the leap
And I landed on my feet
Yeah I found my team, my family
And as I chase this dream
I know that they believe in me
And we're onto something good (I know)
We're bout to conquer this world
I'm so glad that I
Took my own time
I'm glad I did it the right way
(Slow slow down...)
Now I listen to my instincts when I lose my way
(Slow slow down...)
And that's when they say
chorus
Take your time
So I'm waiting,
Cause I know I'm gonna be
Next in line
To claim my prize, and be all that I wanna be
I work so hard to earn my place
And good things come to those who wait
Now I know if I died tomorrow
I wouldn't regret a single thing
I wanna look back on where I've been
And know that I made, my own way
That I lived each day, and owned it
Working for that good thing, that good thing
chorus
Take your time
So I'm waiting,
Cause I know I'm gonna be
Next in line
To claim my prize, and be all that I wanna be
I work so hard to earn my place
And good things come to those who wait
Good things, those who wait
I appreciate those who wait
Thank you to those who wait
Good things come
