PATIENCE IS EVERYTHING

 

January 13^th

 

“Patience is Everything”

 

 

You say you can have success

You say you can be the best

But they are only words

Until you do it

Until you prove it

Until you pass the most severe test

 

You know you want it all

You know you want it now

But patience is the key

Patience is everything

And sometimes if you wait

If you stick it out awhile

The success you have planned

It’ll come--but not right now

 

All the time you’re waiting

Your inner juices are burning

Burning like a raging fire

Burning with uncontrollable desire

There’s only one thing standing in your way

You need another chance

And your life will be enhanced

You know you got to prove it

You know you got to do it

And with another chance

You know you’re going to dance

 

When you’ve been healthy you’ve always been the best

And with another opportunity

You know you wouldn’t be anything less

 

But the days come and the days go

Nothing changes

And you struggle and fight

To keep those priorities from rearranging

But you still don’t know

If that chance will ever come

And with each passing day

The insecurity gets deeper

And you carry it to bed with you far into every night

 

You keep telling yourself patience is the key

You keep telling yourself patience is everything

You wonder how long you can remain ready

You wonder if your chance will ever come

You wonder how long you can maintain your burning desires

And  if with time

Your hopes and dreams won’t succumb

 

You know you were once the best

You know if you were right

You wouldn’t be anything less

 

But can you remain patient

Can you remain calm

Can you just pass the time

Can you weather the storm

 

If you really want to prove it

If you really want to do it

You’ll have to remain patient

Because  patience is the key

Patience--is everything
