	Patience   She named her child Patience Patience like the breath before a shout Patience like the rain inside a cloud So when her child's frustrated When she's agitated From something big her little hands won't let her do She can soothe her without even trying to Patience Don't fret Don't be Upset Patience Go slow Don't rush Oh no... If you only give it time If you only give it time Oh, Patience It'll work out fine She calls her child Patience Patience like the aging of a wine Patience like she needs from time to time So when she gets frustrated When she's agitated With her daughter's crying driving in the screws The words she uses then to soothe her soothe her too Patience Don't fret Don't be Upset Patience Go slow Don't rush Oh no... If you only give it time If you only give it time Oh, Patience It'll work out fine (Instrumental Break) Patience Don't fret Don't be Upset Patience Go slow Don't rush Oh no... If you only give it time If you only give it time Oh, Patience It'll work out fine Copyright Jeffrey L. Stillman
