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...
