so be patient patient when waiting for the gold and wait only as long as you have to don t wait til you re too old cause i stood outside so long and i stood til 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 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 and 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 for me life is knocking at my front door won t you let him in this time and won t you let him in this time
