Patience My Child - Nancy Wilson

When I was a youngster, I can recall

Seeking the answers, I questioned all

Needing the truth, asking why

Getting a «what?»

or «not right now, some other time»

Often just «no», never discussion (never discussion)

Or just «I don’t know» (I just don’t know)

Always… (oh…)

Patience, please have patience, my child (my child)

It’ll come (it'll come)

It’ll come as you grow (as you grow-ow-ow)

Then, as I grew older, I can recall

I was asking the questions

I was answering all (answering all)

Guessing it’s true, I was telling them why

Getting ahead, what do you know?

Or maybe you’re right

Usually just «no», never discussion (never discussion)

Do you really think so?

(do you really think so?)

Now I have patience, patience

Patience, my child (my child)

It’ll come (it'll come)

It’ll come as you grow (as you grow-ow-ow)

Now I’m older (now I’m older), but I still recall (I recall)

Now my children seek answers

And they question all (they question all)

They need the truth (they need the truth)

They’re asking me why (ooh…)

I take the time, I take then, maybe a chance

Mmh, sometimes «no», always discussion (always discussion)

At times I don’t know (I just don’t know)

Always patience, patience my child (my child)

It’ll come (it'll come)

It’ll come as you grow (as you grow)

Hey please, please, have patience

Patience, my child (my child)

It’ll come, it’ll come (it'll come)

It’ll come as you grow (as you grow)

Ow, have patience (patience)

Have patience (my child…)
