[Verse 1]
All your life has been rambling, scurrying
Take your time rather than hurry
Never too late to write the rest of your story
Remember to breathe or else you’re gonna be sorry
Life’s no race, it’s a companion
Always face with reckless abandonment
A ticket to life as the mother once told me
Stick with your pride and you’re gonna be lonely
[Chorus 1]
Everybody
says that life takes p
atience
But
nobody wants to w
ait
Everybody
says we need sal
vation
But
nobody wants to be s
aved
The light
in the tun
nel is just a
nother runaway t
rain
The blue skies
we wait o
n are gonna
have to come after the r
ain
[Verse 2]
Spend your days happy and grateful
Avoid the taste of wanting and wasteful
Every good thing will come in moderation
Envy and greed will only lead to frustration
Choose your friends, carefree and kindly
Choose your words, careful and wisely
Always be there to lend a comforting shoulder
One will be there to share and be when you’re older (be when you’re older}
[Chorus 2]
Everybody
says that life takes p
atience
But
nobody wants to w
ait
Everybody
says we need sal
vation
But
nobody wants to be s
aved
The light
in the tun
nel is just a
nother runaway t
rain
The blue skies
we wait o
n are gonna
have to come after the r
ain
Old mistakes com
mitted upon us
Always take a
toll on the conscience
Every regret is a
gift that you live with
Never forget to re
member forgiveness
[Chorus 3]
Everybody
says that life takes p
atience
But
nobody wants to w
ait
Everybody
says we need sal
vation
But
nobody wants to be s
aved
The light
in the tun
nel is just a
nother runaway t
rain
The blue skies
we wait o
n are gonna
have to come after the
ra-ai-
ai-ai-a
in
Gonna
have to come after the
ra-ai-
ai-ai-a
in
Gonna
have to come after the
ra-ai-
