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 I'mma 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
