Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired

And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest

And we find we're gettin' anxious to be in that happy home

Where we'll reseive such peace and happiness

But then we look around us and we say

(Wait a little longer...

And maybe we can help them find a way

Then if waiting is the cost that they may not be lost

Lord that's the only reason why we say

(Wait a little longer...
