[Verse 1]
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"
[Pre-Chorus]
Often just "no", never discussion (never discussion)
Or just "I don't know" (I just don't know)
Always... (oh...)
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Usually just "no", never discussion (never discussion)
Do you really think so? (do you really think so?)
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Mmh, sometimes "no", always discussion (always discussion)
At times I don't know (I just don't know)
[Chorus]
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...)
