Be patient, patient when waiting for the gold
Wait only as long as you have to
Don't wait 'til you're too old
I stood outside so long
I stood 'til the bark on every tree was gone

Come on home tonight, and fight for what you know
Say what you think but please say it in love
If you follow the crowd, just promise me one thing
Please know your heart before you begin to sing

'Cause I'm on my way back home
And I found that the story was true all along
'Cause I'm on my way back home
And I found that the story was true all along
Won't you get, won't you get through to me?
'Cause the sound of your voice was the one that carried me

Oh, the sound is breaking all my bones
Won't you sing again, I love it
The fight of my life is knocking at my front door
Won't you let him in this time
