so be patient, patient when waiting for the gold and wait on me as long as you have to don't wait till you're too old
cuz i stood outside so long and i stood till the bark on every tree was gone
so come on home tonight and fight for what you know and 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
cuz i'm on my way back home and i found that the story was true all along
cuz i'm on my way back home and i found that the story was true all along so you get what you get through to me and the sound of your voice was the one that carried me
oh the sound is breaking all my bones and won't you sing again about it the fire of my life is knocking at my front door won't you let him in this time won't you let him in this time
