Love, Patience And Time

I believe in the power
inside of my heart
God is the source
from whom we're never apart
No challenge too great
and no cause too small
This infinite love
is inside of us all
[Verse 1:]
My buddy,
Greg lost his leg
serving time in the desert
Sitting drinking,
thinking of things
he couldn't do no more
Took a while for Greg to smile,
but I heard he's doing better
He just won a marathon,
second year in a row
Oh, there's a storm
that you're gone have
to ride in your life
Hope is the beacon that saves
when you're lost in your life
Just hold on
and you'll go with the tide
[Chorus:]
Love, patience, and time
And it won't take long,
till it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong
in your heart and mine
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
Oh, na, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 2:]
I knew a girl, a pretty girl,
but her daddy never loved her
She wondered why every guy
left her out in the cold
What Daddy did she must forgive,
before her heart grows colder
And all the love
she's dreaming of,
maybe then she will know
Yeah,
we've got stories and people
to blame for our lives
No,
don't get lost in that circle
Don't you know that's a lie,
the only way
is to leave the past behind
[Chorus: x2]
Love, patience, and time
And it won't be long,
and it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong
in your heart and mine
[Bridge:]
There's so much more
inside you and me
That the world needs
to still believe
Nothing's too great
for this God and me
Keep in mind love
and life
Everything
is gonna be alright
[Verse 3:]
Grab a gun, everyone,
said the leader of many
We've got to kill to change
the will of the other side
Some people swear
that blood and fear
will bring
the world together
I believe
that all we need love,
patience, and time.
[Chorus:]
Love, patience, and time
And it won't take long,
and it's gonna be alright
Love, patience, and time
That power is strong
in your heart and mine
