| 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…) |
