The Patience Bossa
Deborah:
Hey settle down, stop racing round
When you go by too fast you'll find, life can pass you by
Perry:
There's a lot of things I wanna get, a lot of things I wanna try, a lot of things I wanna do
I've gotta get a move on if I wanna do things I want
I just can't stand here waiting for you.
Deborah:
There is no race, no second place
Everything we do can be done gracefully
Perry:
You don't know how many things I have to get before I get to do the things I have to do for me
Why is it that you don't get that I am in a hurry here
Why don't you just listen to me.
Deborah:
Suddenly it seems that I understand just what you said
Perry:
Oh, yeah?
Deborah:
No, rushing doesn't help, it's best to win the race with patience instead
both:
Take your time my friends
Every moment can be filled with joy
No matter how you rush you can never get ahead
Perry:
I get it now you showed me how, it's exactly how you say patience leads the way
both:
When I get upset because I haven't gotten what I want instead of freaking out I settle down
Life is nicer when you let it go the way it's going to go
At least that's true as far as I've found
When I'm on a line or in a traffic jam or waiting room I always try to keep a level head
People get upset because they aren't getting what they want but I just say be patient instead
I just say be patient instead
