Patience

Been good

Been bad

Got worse

Got better

I feel I know myself when I'm looking in the mirror

Been hurt

Been loved I'm scarred

I'm not bitter

I'm an angel with knowledge of a sinner

But what do I do and how should I be

When I look at myself I can only be me

I need a little patience

Been hard

Been soft

Been both

Been neither

Above it all I am only a survivor

Been down

Been low

Got up

Got higher

We are only human

All just liars

So I wait for the day when I open my eyes

And I look to myself but it's no big surprise

I need a little patience

Well I'm sitting here and sinking

And I'm on the 18th floor

And I'm thinking do I jump

Or should I stay around for more

I watch my friends get bigger and get better and get richer

But I'm not bitter

Time I ticking ticking ticking ticking ticking on

With a vengeance

I want it all

I want it all

I need a little patience
