Patience, My Child Nancy Wilson

[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?)
