Deborah: Hey, settle down Stop racing round When you go 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 the things I want I can't just 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 (Perry: nu-uh) 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, hey! 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
