All your life, scramble and scurry

Take your time, rather than hurry

Never too late to write the best of your story

Remember to breathe or else you're gonna be sorry

Life's no race, it's a companion

Always face with reckless abandon

The ticket to life as my mother once told me

Stick with your pride and you're gonna be lonely (gonna be lonely)



Everybody says that life takes patience

But nobody wants to wait

Everybody says we need salvation

But nobody wants to be saved

The light in the tunnel is just another runaway train

The blue skies we wait on

Are gonna have to come after the rain



Spend your days happy and grateful

Avoid the taste of wanting and wasteful

Every good thing will come in moderation

Envy and greed will only lead to frustration

Choose your friends, carefree and kindly

Choose your words, careful and wisely

Always be there to lend a comforting shoulder

One will be there to share a day when you're older (a day when you're older)



Everybody says that life takes patience

But nobody wants to wait

Everybody says we need salvation

But nobody wants to be saved

The light in the tunnel is just another runaway train

The blue skies we wait on

Are gonna have to come after the rain



All mistakes, committed upon us

Always take a toll on the conscience

Every regret is a debt that you live with

Never forget to remember forgiveness



Everybody says that life takes patience

But nobody wants to wait

Everybody says we need salvation

But nobody wants to be saved

The light in the tunnel is just another runaway train

The blue skies we wait on

Are gonna have to come after the rain (ra-ai-ai-ain)



Gonna have to come after the rain (ra-ai-ai-ain)

Gonna have to come after the rain (ra-ai-ai-ain)

Rain, yeah

Ra-ai-ai-ain

Gonna have to come after the rain
